The small traditional villages of Peisey and Vallandry are situated halfway between the main resorts of Les Arcs and La Plagne. Peisey is an authentic pretty mountain village with real farm buildings and Baroque heritage. Plan Peisey is its recently developed area that offers a small selection of bars & restaurants, mini-market, local speciality take-away shop, nursery, chemist and medical centre.
Peisey-Vallandry is split into five villages on the sunny side of the massif of Les Arcs: Landry, Peisey, Nancroix, Vallandry and Plan-Peisey.
Peisey-Vallandry is a peaceful haven in the heart of the giant Paradiski. The villages inhabited throughout the year have kept their souls and their authenticity. Guided visits of Peisey village by torchlight are organized to explore its narrow streets, traditional houses, its baroque church ... the opportunity to discover the authentic charm of a mountain village.
Plan Peisey (where Arollaie is located) is at 1650m and has a panoramic view over the valley of Peisey-Nancroix and Haute Tarentaise. It is home to the departure of the Vanoise Express link to the area of La Plagne.
Vallandry (where Oree des Cimes & Oree des Neiges are located) is on the edge of the forest with properties built into the landscape and independent chalets around a few old houses. All have beautiful views and a favourable exposure. The northwest have a remarkable view of the Mont Blanc. The buildings form a central around a pedestrian place where there are all the shops. No building is over 550m from the centre. The parking is free throughout the route.

ski info
Peisey Vallandry is located at foot of the Vanoise Express double-decker cable car linking the two massive ski areas of La Plagne and Les Arcs (now called Paradiski). Paradiski and its 425km of snowsure slopes provide an outstanding base for intermediate skiers and boarders who want high mileage cruising each day. For those who love relaxing skiing, the greatest concentration of blue and red runs is above Arc 1800 down to the villages of Peisey and Vallandry.
Additional ski fact info, main info in panel above
Peisey/Les Arcs
2 snowpark, 3 boardcross (Belle Plagne, Montchavin/Les Coches, Champagny), 2 boardergliss (Arcs 1600 & 2000), 1 half pipe
PEISEY-VALLANDRY – 1 green (7km long!), 13 blue, 9 red, & 2 black (9 lifts)
PEISEY VALLANDRY SKI AREA
Peisey-Vallandry is split into 2 skiing villages (and linking by lift to Les Arcs). Plan Peisey is located next to the spectacular Vanoise Express cable car (200 person capacity). Vallandry is located a little further along.
Peisey-Vallandry are little alpine villages which are linked to the large Paradiski ski area so you get the best of both worlds. Peisey-Vallandry has groomed, tree-lined slopes with a friendly feel and uncrowned most of the time allowing great fast cruising.
In winter, the Vanoise Express cable car (spanning 2km wide and taking just 4 minutes) is accessible to skiers and pedestrians. On Montchavin side though, the cable car arrives on a ski slope. You can't reach Montchavin by foot.
In terms of snow reliability, a high percentage of the runs in Les Arcs are above 2000m. There are also wooded areas in the Les Arcs domain to head to when the weather isnt so great, primarily above Peisey Vallandry, which are uncrowded usually.
PEISEY VALLANDRY BEGINNERS
Both resorts have good nursery slopes higher up on the tree-line accessed by a chairlift. Cabri or Flocon: two protected areas with a small ski tow, in the upper area of Peisey-Vallandry.
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.
The Foret run down to Vallandry, although graded blue is gentle enough to be a green.
There is one green run in the Peisey/Les Arcs domain, but it’s 7km long!
PEISEY VALLANDRY INTERMEDIATES
Paradiski has extensive intermediate slopes with big lift networks. The lower half of the mountainside (1600-1800) is great for mixed ability groups with a choice of routes through the trees. For the more cautious intermediate there are plenty of blue cruising.
PEISEY VALLANDRY EXPERTS
For the more expert, the toughest descents are beneath Aiguille Rouge. Les Arcs has lots to offer for experts. There is a great deal of off-piste potential too.
PEISEY VALLANDRY SNOWBOARDING
Les Arcs is a hot spot for snowboarders, offering excellent freeride. For beginners/intermediates there are plenty of wide open pistes, especially at Vallandry and 1800.
Most lifts in the area are chairs and gondolas and the terrain park has a snowboarder friendly draglift.
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. This means you can learn to ski in an off-piste style safety, but within the ski area and patrolled by ski patrol. 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.

Ski School
Ski School: Lesson times are subject to change right until the last minute. Outside French school holidays the ski school reserves the right to cancel group lessons should numbers be insufficient. For peak periods (23/12-6/1, 16/2-16/3 & 14/4-21/4) we strongly recommend that you book as early as possible and in any case at least 6 weeks prior to the required dates. Morning lessons tend to get booked up first and therefore we may only be able to offer afternoon classes within 6 weeks of departure. In some resorts English speaking instructors may not always be available, particularly at peak times.
