Peisey

For the more expert, the toughest descents are beneath Aiguille Rouge.

The dedicated children’s snow area “Pre Jeannot” is located at Plan Peisey. All complete beginners start at the bottom and then move up to a dedicated area at the top of the chair lift.

Peisey has groomed, tree-lined slopes with a friendly feel and uncrowned most of the time allowing great fast cruising.

The “Natur” runs
Eight natural runs secured and marked by the ski patrol, where no grooming has been done in order to ensure the authenticity of the site. Adapted for very good skiers: Crêtes, Dou de l’Homme, Lanches, Robert Blanc, Génépi, Bois de l’Ours, Les 2 Têtes and Malgovert.

Beginners area

Cabri or Flocon: two protected areas with a small ski tow, in the upper area of Peisey-Vallandry.

Not to be missed when you visit Paradiski!

360 degree panorama of La Grande Rochette at La Plagne. The Aiguille Rouge descent, 7km non-stop, from the glacier at 3226m all the way to Villaroger at 1200m.
