Favorite ski resort:Saint François Longchamp

Where exactly is it?

In the heart of the Maurienne Valley, in Savoie, at an altitude of 1,650 m.

Why do we love?

Because this Family Plus labeled resort gives pride of place to children and beginners, with dedicated areas (Opoualand, La Tanière de Boris, Ski Cross, etc.) and slopes accessible at altitude to apprentice skiers. And that you can enjoy a grandiose panorama, with a 360° view at the crossroads of the Maurienne valley and the Tarentaise valley. Perfect for taking a deep breath of fresh air!

What do we do there?

Skiing, of course, on 165 km of slopes from St François Longchamp to Valmorel, via Doucy, but not only. Snowshoeing, Nordic walking, horse-drawn carriage rides, dog sledding, ice rink, or even La Comète 4-season tobogganing, the choice is yours! You can also recharge your batteries at the resort's balneotherapy center (2,500 m2!). Or immerse yourself behind the scenes of the slopes by sharing the daily life of a groomer or tracker... Magic!

The good plan?

At Christmas, it's a gift for the children! From December 23 to 29, "1 adult purchased =1 child free". An offer valid on ski lifts, ski hire, the ice rink, the balneotherapy centre...

The most?

Belonging to the Labellemontagne group, 11 resorts on a human scale spread between France and Italy, opening onto 7 ski areas and 1,000 km of slopes, which have chosen winter sports at the best value for money, but also from the welcome to the little care.
