The setting is spectacular as it lies half-way between the ‘Beaufortain’ valley and the ‘Val d'Arly’ valley, two magnificent areas of Savoy, with views towards Mont Blanc. The ‘Beaufortain’ with its wonderful scenery is sometimes called’ The French Tyrol’. The village itself is charming with wood clad chalets and a bustling high street complete with some 40 shops and a big selection of bars, pubs, pizzerias, crêperies, grills and restaurants offering the choicest Savoyard dishes.

Les Saisies is a delightful alpine village full of energy when it comes to its ski programme, combined with the Espace Cristal offers a wide range of skiing. Beginners will find plenty of gentle nursery slopes, while intermediates will enjoy well-kept pistes on which to gain confidence, and easy links into Crest Voland and the runs from the top of Mont Lachet. Advanced skiers have a couple of Blacks off the top of Mont Bissane that are quite challenging, and there are off-piste runs through the trees. Les Saisies is the top Nordic ski resort in France.

The Olympic domaine has 80km of marked pistes and extends over a large sunny plateau between 1570 and 1760 metres high so unlike many cross country areas has a good season long snow cover. A great place to begin your adventure on cross-country skis you will soon be winding your way through the delightful forested trails. It is very different to down hill and great fun. If you are already a confirmed cross-country skier then this is really the place to visit. On top of all the skiing, try snowshoe walks, boarding, ski mountaineering, dog sledding, and parapenting.
