Les Sept Laux is set in the heart of the Belledonne mountains spread over three villages Prapoutel, Pipay and Le Pleynet boasting 120km of runs from 1350m up to a height of 2400m. The area has a good record of snow and an extensive snow cannon network.

The resort is perfect for all types of skiers ranging from beginners through to experts either on the black runs or on the extensive off-piste in the area.
As well as the piste, Les Sept Laux also boasts one of the largest snow parks in Europe designed by the H.O.5 Park group, featuring many varied obstacles for snowboarders.
Until recently although very well know across France the resort has been largely undiscovered by the British market.
Les Sept Laux is only half an hour from Grenoble (one hour from the airport) and has over the years been the destination of choice for the local Grenoble population. Now with the opening up of Grenoble airport to budget airlines, the resort is now attracting international skiers.
