Sitting at 1650m, the resort of Les Saisies is the highest in the Espace Diamant region.
Les Saisies offers up snowsure terrain on either side of its valley and a link across to the expansive linked slopes – to the resorts of Notre Dame de Bellecombe and Praz Sur Arly. Most of the local slopes are fairly gentle, making this a good resort for beginners or intermediates looking to improve their skills on snow. A few steeper on piste challenges are available, but more advanced skiers and riders will want to wait for fresh snowfall and head off piste.
The resort is very compact, with a neat centre and lots of ski-in-ski-out accommodation. Generally most lodging is good value and is family-friendly, plus there’s some decent chalets available for rent. Away from the slopes, Les Saisies is one of the best resorts in France for cross country skiing and the resort is home to 120km of perfectly groomed slopes, slopes which hosted the 1992 Albertville Olympic events.

Flocon Vert is an independent scheme operated by Mountain Riders, which accredits resorts in France who have met twenty criteria based on environmental, social and economic sustainability.
- Les Saisies is one of the most recently accredited resorts, having been awarded its first snowflake in 2023
- The resort is active year-round, providing economic resilience in the face of climate challenges
- Alongside this, Les Saisies has developed a diverse and locally-focused economy

Updated 07/03
Steady conditions for much of France come to an end over this weekend, with a low pressure system coming in from the west to help spruce things up after a long drought for this region of the Alp.s Cloud will come in on Friday and Saturday, following by around 10cm of snow falling Sunday evening and into Monday. Spring-like conditions – with temperatures dropping overnight but climbing in the sun – will briefly come to an end, with the freezing line remaining around 2,000m for most of Sunday when the snow comes.
This will mean the new snow sticks around mostly above this mark, although a slight dip overnight into Monday allows something to get down to 1,500m. Steady, spring-like conditions then return, bringing fine, dry and bright weather to much of the region; more snow is expected at the end of the new week and into next weekend.
