Grand Massif is the fourth largest ski area in France with 265km of piste offering a variety of terrain for all levels, reliable snow cover and very few queues.

Samoens: Set amid forest and nestling at the foot of the imposing Criou mountain, Samoëns has remained unspoilt by tourist developments and is the only resort in France to be listed as a ‘Land of Art and History’.

Non-ski activities include dog-sledding, indoor climbing and skating but also some more unusual activities such as archery in the forest, caving, ice climbing or diving under ice!
