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.

- 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 07/01
Really good snowfall has come to the French Alps, driven by a large area of low pressure over the Atlantic and another over Scandinavia that is allowing cold, unsettled Arctic air to flow down to the region.
Up to 1.5m of snow could be expected between now and the end of the week, although this will fall mostly across higher ground as the freezing line sits at 2,000m and will remain there throughout this period. The bulk of the snow will fall on Wednesday and Thursday, with a foot and a foot-and-a-half expected down on each day.
High pressure will then move in over the weekend, bringing fine, dry and bright conditions and plummeting temperatures as the freezing line drops off a cliff, helping to preserve this new snow.
Expect the avalanche forecast to increase alongside this new snowfall. Check your local forecast carefully and plan any backcountry and off-piste travel carefully.
