Ski holidays St. Jean d'Arves - Enjoy winter sports out in the countryside!

St. Jean d'Arves

A trip to St. Jean d'Arves at an altitude of 1,600 metres is particularly worthwhile in the cold season. Because here you can combine a holiday in the Savoy Alps in the countryside with a pure winter sports experience. Located in the centre of the Les Sybelles mega ski area, the small ski village has retained its traditional charm and typical Savoyard flair. The fact that the almost 270 inhabitants of the village have to play host to thousands of winter sports enthusiasts every year during the tourist season doesn't bother them. After all, the small ski resort has retained its tranquil character for decades thanks to a well-developed tourism infrastructure. And this is exactly what visitors appreciate so much about the municipality, where, in addition to the Saint-Jean-d'Arves castle off the piste, there are also many cosy restaurants and a legendary après-ski bar to linger in. Holidays in St. Jean d'Arves are rounded off by stylish chalets and charming accommodation that create a cosy atmosphere in the village.

Les Sybelles

The sunny ski region Les Sybelles in the heart of the Savoyard Alps comprises six different resorts and various tiny villages. Located at the Col de la Croix Fer (2,067 m) a steadily growing winter sports centre is attracting more and more customers and is already one of the largest ski regions in France. Be it an idyllic mountain village or a modern ski resort - in Les Sybelles there is place for everyone. A diverse offer for families with child care service and entertaining programme are the features which brought parts of the region the "Familie Plus" Award. But also aside from the piste the region has many diverse offers: besides a large network of winter hiking trails and cross-country tracks, the mountains can also be explored with a dog sledge or on show shoes. Furthermore, there are various huts and restaurants which offer many tasty, typically Savoyard specialities to indulge in.
