About the Resort
About Peisey-Nancroix
Peisey–Nancroix is a cluster of traditional Savoyard hamlets within the Peisey–Vallandry sector of the vast Paradiski area. The resort spans Peisey village (1,300 m), Plan-Peisey (1,650 m), Vallandry (1,600 m), and the original village of Nancroix—each preserving a genuinely French Alpine feel with classic chalets and a warm, family-friendly atmosphere. Set in the Tarentaise Valley at the southern edge of Les Arcs, it sits perfectly between Les Arcs and La Plagne, with direct access to the iconic Vanoise Express cable car. Expect beautiful tree-lined pistes, welcoming beginner zones, and varied terrain from gentle nursery slopes to serious off-piste—all with a quieter, more intimate vibe than the larger hubs nearby. With over 70% of Paradiski above 2,000 m and two skiable glaciers, snow is reliable from December into late April.
