Resorts in The Alps

The resorts have developed from and around villages that are still there. Their inhabitants built the first lifts, from the 1930s onwards; they became hoteliers, instructors, storekeepers while continuing to look after the land and the animals. More than 60 resorts have a major ski area, a constellation of villages and Nordic ski centers, representing 2,500 km of alpine ski runs and some 1,200 km of cross-country runs.

The major alpine areas offer large-scale ski areas allowing the practice of all forms of skiing suitable for beginners and the most experienced: downhill skiing, cross-country skiing and ski touring. Fun addicts can indulge without limits in the joys of freestyle, surfing, skwaling and other acrobatic jumps on snow parks specially designed for thrills! These large areas also include sports activities, wellness retreats, cultural visits, etc.

Family atmosphere, natural scenery and convenience stores, the village resorts have been able to develop new activities with winter sports, while preserving their traditions of hospitality, their architecture and a quality of life based on conviviality.
