Skiing & Winter

Where to point your skis first — a run-by-run tour of Le Grand Domaine, from the gentle village greens to the long red that drops all the way home.

Ski over the ridge to Valmorel and back — a full day chasing the sun on a single lift pass across the 180 km linked area.

Long, forgiving nursery slopes and where to take your first lesson in the sun, from the village greens up.

Leave the lifts behind for quiet skin tracks and big views toward the Col de la Madeleine — a primer on ski touring from the resort.

The mid-mountain terraces worth planning your day around — cheese, sun and a pichet at the refuges of Le Grand Domaine.

Reading a mountain winter: what the light, the wind and the altitude tell you about the snow on a south-facing resort.
