News – 2019/20
In the Monêtier sector two slow chairs from the mid-mountain Bachas area have been replaced. The slow Eychauda quad has become a fast sixpack carrying 2,800 people per hour and the Cibouït double has become a quad. These will make the area much more enjoyable to ski.
News – 2018/19
On the upper slopes above Villeneuve, a slow triple and a draglift were replaced by a six-pack carrying 3,000 people per hour. This speeds up the journey towards the Chantemerle sector.
Summary
This is one of our favourite places. The modern buildings of the main resort areas are off-putting, but get into the original villages and you find the kind of ambience you might look for on a summer holiday – a sort of Provence in the snow, with small family-run hotels and restaurants in old stone buildings.
And the slopes are equally distinctive, with the trees reaching appreciably higher altitudes than the Alpine norm. This is a great place to be when it’s snowing, as we have confirmed on two of our most recent visits.
