Our mountain resorts

Our three ski resorts, Val d’Allos, Ratery and La Colle-st-Michel, have succeeded in preserving an authentic village environment and spirit.

Ski en famille
Les montagnes en hiver

Family resorts

Combine the joys of the mountains with those of the snow! Sumptuous landscapes, between larches and snow-capped mountains.

The different sites will enable youngsters to start out, older children to “ride” and everyone to come together to discover new pleasures: snowshoeing, sledging or cross-country skiing. Our resorts have everything you need for great winter sports fun with family and friends!

Postcard landscapes

The snow-covered landscapes are magical: high peaks blanketed in white, fir trees whose branches bend under the weight of fresh snow, and thick layers of snow covering the alpine huts.

Waking up in a chalet, opening the shutters, and taking in the view—that’s what the Verdon is all about!

Our ski resorts

winter-icon

In the southern Alps, snow and sunshine were the order of the day. Downhill skiing, cross-country skiing, ski touring, snowboarding, snowshoeing, tobogganing… an avalanche of activities and surprises await you in the heart of winter.

 


Val d'Allos

Val d'Allos

One of France’s largest ski areas stretches across the upper Verdon Valley!
At the headwaters of the Verdon, at altitudes ranging from 1,500 to 2,600 meters, 230 km of slopes offer opportunities for all kinds of winter sports.
In the heart of the Southern Alps, the Val d’Allos resorts are rich in their complementary nature. They combine authenticity and modernity. Here, in the Mercantour National Park, snow and sunshine come together to offer you vacations with family or friends to enjoy to your heart’s content.

La sattion de Ratery

Ratery 1700 nordic area

Be careful! Total immersion in a privileged environment! At Ratery, Nordic skiing innovates and offers ever more dynamic activities.

Located 6 km from Colmars-les-Alpes on the Col des Champs, this high-altitude Nordic ski area features groomed trails winding beneath majestic larch trees, giving it a Lapland-like atmosphere. Thanks to its north-facing exposure and its elevation ranging from 1,700 m to 1,790 m, the snow here is always of excellent quality. Just a few hundred meters from the heart of the Mercantour National Park, unspoiled nature welcomes you and offers a panoramic view of the headwaters of the Verdon.

La Colle-Saint-Michel

La Colle-Saint-Michel

Certainly one of the most beautiful Nordic sites in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region! Located in Thorame – Haute, 20 kilometers from Colmars-les-Alpes, at the top of a pass and far from any hustle and bustle, the resort culminates at an altitude of between 1,430 m and 1,700 m.

Discover the snow-covered open spaces of La Colle-Saint-Michel! The estate can be enjoyed freely and without moderation. Here you can reconnect with nature, recharge your batteries and enjoy activities for the whole family: cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, ski touring, tobogganing and fat biking.

Did you know?

To withstand the harsh conditions of altitude in an often hostile mountain environment, plants have developed solid adaptive strategies, and animals have developed treasures of ingenuity to survive….You, our fellow travelers, will only need a jacket, a hat, gloves and your camera!
