Overview

The charming and traditional hamlets and villages that make up the ski resort of Peisey Vallandry sit at the gates of the Vanoise National Park.

They are often overlooked as a place to base yourself for a ski holiday being over shadowed by the goliaths of Les Arcs and La Plagne.

However, once explored, many skiers will opt to base themselves here as the villages form the link between Les Arcs on one side of the high ravine and La Plagne on the other making the whole Paradiski area and its 425kms of linked pistes far more accessible.

The apres-ski scene is relaxed with a good selection of high quality restaurants and bars where you can rub shoulders with the locals and enjoy authentic Tarentaise cuisine.
