At the heart of the Paradiski area, Peisey Vallandry is a captivating ski resort offering a seamless blend of alpine charm and extensive skiing. It provides effortless access to both the La Plagne and Les Arcs ski resorts, making it an amazing base for serious skiers.

Peisey Vallandry is comprised of four main villages: Peisey, Nancroix, Plan Peisey, and Vallandry. Each village exudes its own unique character, from Peisey’s traditional allure and family-friendly atmosphere to Nancroix’s rich history as a haven for cross-country skiing. Plan Peisey offers modern infrastructure and a plethora of accommodations, while Vallandry charms visitors with its forest-side positioning and stunning views of Mont Blanc.

Skiers of all levels will find their ideal slopes here. Beginners can enjoy dedicated areas designed to build confidence with gentle runs and magic carpet lifts. Intermediate skiers have a wealth of options, including the picturesque Foret blue run, while experts can tackle challenging black pistes like Ecureuils and Bosses or test their skills on off-piste adventures.

Beyond skiing, Peisey Vallandry offers a vibrant dining and après-ski scene. From the homemade delights at Le Petit Hibou to the lively atmosphere at The Bar Mont Blanc, there’s something to satisfy every palate and preference. For an authentic taste of Savoie, Le Bistrot Savoyard is a must-visit. The resort doesn’t just cater to skiers. Non-skiers can indulge in a variety of activities, from tobogganing and paragliding to exploring the igloo village. The Mille8 complex offers swimming, fitness, and spa facilities, while Ranch El Colorado provides equestrian adventures.

Reaching Peisey Vallandry is convenient. You can fly into nearby airports like Grenoble, Lyon, or Geneva, followed by private or shared transfers. Alternatively, drive from Northern France for added flexibility or take the Eurostar directly to the French Alps, with seamless connections to the resort.
