La Toussuire is part of France’s third largest ski ‘domaine’, the Sybelles. This is a network of lifts linking 300km of slopes above six villages in the mountains around La Toussuire – surely France’s best kept ski secret... The lifts as well as most of the... ski hire shops and restaurants in Les Sybelles remain locally-owned and run. And as a visitor you feel their welcome.
La Toussuire made some interesting architectural choices in the 70s, one of which is a long concrete building that snakes along just behind the snow front.
However, some newer chalet-style buildings on the snow front itself with restaurants and bars make the snow front lively and a good place to hang out after ski school before heading back up the mountain - we tested lots of these and they were all good.
We also loved the picnic pods near the Snowpy Mountain snow park.
