The Skiing:
The unspoilt Maurienne valley encompasses 24 resorts and over 1600km of pistes with rustic, village-like resorts recalling the traditional alpine scenery of the first days of skiing. A beginner’s paradise, the Maurienne is perfect for young families yet still offers some challenging slopes for the more advanced skier.With its friendly atmosphere and distinctly French feel, the Maurienne appeals to those who wish to escape from the more crowded ski areas.

The Resort  1550m – 2600m: 

With the combined ski areas of the six Sybelles resorts, St Jean d’Arves is part of France’s fourth largest ski domain providing 300km of pistes suitable for all levels. The village itself is overflowing with alpine charm and with its traditional, narrow streets retains the local character which so many resorts have lost. The quiet yet welcoming atmosphere combined with the extensive skiing possibilities make St Jean d’Arves a difficult resort to beat.
