Ski Area Grand Domaine
The ski region "Le Grand Domaine" lies below the Col de la Madeleine, between the Massif du Cheval Noir and the Massif de la Lauzière. It stretches over a surface of approx. 3,600 ha and offers 153 kilometres of pistes in various levels of difficulty, with an altitude difference of 1,150 m. In combining the ski areas Valmorel and St. François-Longchamp, a marvellous winter sports setting came alive, which is perfectly connected by 50 lift systems. The sprawling ski area (1,400 - 2,550 m) invites you to take a day tour, the cosy ski huts to come in for a drink. The pistes are predominantly intermediate, but there are many demanding runs, mogul pistes and countless deep snow possibilities. One of the more challenging pistes is the 1.8 km long "La Luzière", on which you have to overcome a difference in altitude of 700 m. In Valmorel there is a fun park called "Snowzone" for boarders with half-pipe, boardercross, jumps and much more. Another park, named "Le Rocher Blanc" can be found in St. Francois. Exemplary is the large beginners terrain with especially slow lifts, as well as a children's village. The little ones will be supervised, if the big "kids" want to go skiing by themselves. The ideal location means the region is snow-sure until mid-April.
