Peisey-Vallandry is a picturesque and charming ski resort composed of several traditional villages in the Tarentaise Valley. Sitting at an altitude of 1,600 meters, it uniquely combines the authentic feel of a traditional Savoyard community with the vast, world-class skiing of the massive Paradiski domain. The resort is famous for its beautiful tree-lined runs, which offer fantastic visibility during snowy days, and its relaxed, welcoming atmosphere that heavily contrasts with the bustling, purpose-built mega-resorts nearby. Strategically located at the very center of the Paradiski area, Peisey-Vallandry hosts the iconic Vanoise Express cable car, which seamlessly links the Les Arcs and La Plagne ski areas. This makes it an ultimate base camp for mileage-hungry skiers who want to explore all 425km of interconnected pistes. Despite this central position, the resort remains an oasis of tranquility, ideal for families and couples looking for a peaceful mountain retreat. The skiing in the immediate Peisey-Vallandry sector is highly regarded for its wide, rolling blue and red pistes that carve gracefully through the forest. It also provides immediate access to high-altitude glacier skiing and challenging off-piste terrain in the broader Les Arcs domain. Off the slopes, the nearby Nordic site at Pont Baudin offers a magical escape into the Vanoise National Park, with cross-country skiing, horse-drawn sleigh rides, and stunning alpine scenery.
