TIGNES - VAL D'ISERE - SAINTE-FOY-TARENTAISE - VALMOREL - LA PLAGNE - LES ARCS - LA ROSIÈRE
Explore on skis the many untouched and wild routes linking the many ski areas of Haute-Tarentaise
Right from the start of the ski safari, the tour of the Haute Tarentaise seduces skiers from all over the world. Renowned around the world, this corner of Savoy has given birth to the largest and most beautiful ski areas in the world: Val d’Isère, Tignes (formerly Espace Killy), Les Arcs, La
Plagne (Paradiski), La Rosière, La Thuile (Espace San Bernardo), Sainte-Foy-Tarentaise …
Those who already know the Haute Tarentaise will be pleasantly surprised to discover a completely different facet of this fantastic valley. Our logistics are well oiled and in the company of a guide who is here at home, we invite you to ski the powder of the most beautiful north face of the region: Bellecôte, Aiguille Rouge, Foglietta without forgetting the couloir of the “9 vallees” in La Lauzière between Valmorel and Saint François Longchamp …
As you ski from one valley to another, your luggage is transported by road! Stopovers in small typical hotels, located in mountain villages well placed among the mega ski areas, will allow you to get to know and appreciate the Savoyard welcome.
Join us for what former participants call “the greatest ski adventure of their lives”.
