Les Saisies Ski, Snowboard & Summer Holidays

Les Saisies has been known on the international level since the 16th Winter Olympic Games at Albertville in 1992.

Best recognised as being the centre for cross-country skiing, it also has extensive alpine skiing linked with its neighbours Crest Voland, Notre-Dame de Bellecombe and Flumet to form the Espace Diamant.

The setting is spectacular, as Les Saisies lies halfway between the Beaufortain valley and the Val d'Arly valley, two magnificent areas of Savoie, with views towards Mont Blanc. The 'Beaufortain' with its wonderful scenery is sometimes called 'The French Tyrol'.

Les Saisies itself is charming with wood clad chalets and a bustling high street.
