SPOT
Les Contamines ski area
A sunny area facing Mont-Blanc
A resort renowned for its quality snow throughout the season, Les Contamines offers 120 kilometers of slopes, facing the exceptional panorama from Mont-Blanc to Beaufortain. Between valleys, wide slopes, fir trees along the slopes, chalets, alpine farms and the village of Contamines, the estate reveals all its Savoyard charm between 1200 and 2500 m above sea level. The 48 slopes are easily accessible thanks to the range of ski lifts that also allow you to reach Ludo Parc for the pleasure of skiing with the family. Les Contamines is: - 120 km of slopes - 25 ski lifts - 48 tracks (8 green - 12 blue - 19 red - 9 black) - a station straddling Haute-Savoie and Beaufortain (Hauteluce station access) For off-trail skiing and cross-country skiing, the area offers a multitude of options, with departures from Aiguille Croche and Mont Joly allowing for long runs. Between low-avalanche slopes and forests, it is an ideal spot for these activities. You can venture on Bûche Croisée, Tierce and Veleray (to rub shoulders with Mont Joly), Pouillet and of course Aiguille Croche with fairly steep slopes.
