Peisey Vallandry - Community Reviews & Ratings

This small boutique satellite village just on the edge of Les Arcs circuit represents some of the best value skiing in Hautes Savoie region. it is fully connected by high speed lifts to Les Arcs and to La Plagne circuit by way of the Vanoise Express 200 person cable car. Both resorts make up the Mega ski area Paradiski. Piesey Valandry is perfect for those who are looking for a quieter holiday away from the main crowds, but by no means is this a sleepy little village there is not one but TWO Michelin starred restaurants in the villages that surround Piesey, restaurants and bars to satisfy every ones tastes and pocket. The well groomed runs are long and tree lined there are runs for all levels of skiing with a long lazy blue taking you back to the heart of the village. There are plenty of choices of English speaking ski schools available. If boarding is your thing you will not be disappointed there are several well kept Snow Parks to play in. Off piste skiing is bountiful and on a powder day you have a diverse and challenging choice of natural ski areas to play with. Eating & drinking up on the mountain is good value and a wide choice available, Après Ski mountainside is fantastic with the famous Folie Douce and Arpette Club Bars open late into the night , the moonlit ski back is amazing .... keep a good eye out for the piste groomers on the way back to the resort !! All in all you will not go wrong choosing this resort it ticks the boxes for all levels of skiing & boarding.

Lovely resort bit don't stay down the lobster pots in Nancroix as you'll be stuck having to get the lift at 5pm, cutting short your apres x

This a beautiful resort with a great range of slopes to suit all levels of skier. The lower runs are tree lined which are stunning. Easy access to Les Arc area and La Plagne. Free shuttle buses also which run frequently. Plenty choice of good restaurants and bars but not too busy or noisy.

Perfect Resort for all levels of skier/boarder. Tree runs and wide open blues in Peisey with access to all of Les Arcs and La Plagne with a large variety of options for more advanced and easy skiing. Peisey is a quiet family friendly resort with lots of restaurants to choose from while also having a few bars for apres ski.

Piesey Vallandry is great little resort with brilliant access to the main Les and La Plagne ski area. Accommodation is affordable and there is a range of small bars for a well rented beer at the end of the day. Theres not a big apres scene so its more family friendly than some other resorts. Les Arcs is one of my favourite ski areas in France with well groomed pistes and a mix of blue red and blacks. I especially love the tree lined runs. Have visited this resort with a mix of abilities and everyone has enjoyed it.

My favorite! Very family friendly and accessible, I do recommend it for beginners and advanced skiiers. The layout is easy to understand as well, you cannot get lost!

A quiet resort which links directly to Les Arcs via the transarc express. Fantastic terrain great on a little or a lot of snow. There is a large amount of interconnecting pistes allowing families to choose their run and link up whilst taking in their skill level. Much busier across in Les Arcs but excellent fun there to be had with Folle Douce, snow park, ski track and luge. Small village atmosphere in the resort but with some excellent food and good smaller bars with brilliant atmospheres.

Really quality ski village, great options for ski hire, places to eat and access to Les Arc apres. Perfect location of you're not looking for high rise apartment blocks with a traditional feel but access to a very large ski area.

Grew up going here every year, the ecole de ski there is where I learnt to ski all the way through the classes and they have great instructors. There are good runs around vallandrey but anything above a high red you should ski across to Les arc for (there is a red run in Peisey-Vallandry but its pretty much a red). Apres has a few good bars with the best one being about 100m of the way up the main slope but can ski back from folie douce les arc on the blue foret run.

I have been skiing to a number of the resorts near Peisey, as well as others in France such as Flaine and Meribel, but Peisey is my favourite. While it has often been busy and can be expensive, this is definitely in part due to the time of year I have gone (in school holidays). The ESF ski school is the one I have used and is excellent with kind instructors with an expert knowledge of the domain. The size of the domain accessible is also amazing, with skiing from Aguille Rouge over 3000m down to Peisey incredible. The area caters for all abilities from beginners to competitive skiers. Lastly the boarder cross and snowpark are great too.

Peisey-Vallandry is well positioned in between the larger areas of La Plagne and Les Arcs, giving guests a wide range of options every day. There is unfortunately no beginner piste at resort level. So begginers have to take the Vallandry gondola to the beginner slope higher up, or take the short bus to Arc 1800. The resort is best suited for intermediate skiiers, with plenty of blues and easy reds to cruise around. For advanced skiiers there are some VERY steep mogul fields to test yourself on.

A quite resort with an enormous ski area with lots of back country and off piste to explore as well as Les Arcs and La Plagne links to equate up to a massive ski area.

Peisey Vallandry is an all around resort. With easy access to the Les Arcs and La Plagne ski areas the number of runs (of all levels) are endless. Its definitely a great shout for families as its a quieter resort with only two bars of an evening. However with easy access to Les Arcs 1800 and the two bars hosting dj and band nights theres still plenty of après ski.

A great resort, slightly set apart from the busier and more commercial resorts of Les Arcs and La Plange. Whilst still offering a great range of runs - a lot being within the trees, making it a good option during poor visibility. The village itself is nice with a good choice of restaurants and plenty of accommodation close to the slopes. Both Les Arcs and La Plange are accessible by lift offering vast amounts of terrain.

Great base to access Les Arcs and La Plagne. Very quiet family oriented. Easily accessible from major international airports. New lift link between Les arcs 1800 and Arcs 1900 due to open next season,should be quicker and more weather sure.

Had a great trip to Peisey and Les Arc at the end of the season. They did an amazing job at keeping most runs open even with the temps hitting 22c. A great variety of runs. With beautiful tree lined blues and reds. Some trickier reds and blacks too. Stunning views and runs down from the Glacier. Some good places to eat and drink on the mountain. Pricey enough at the some of the bottom bars. Reasonable on the mountain. Stayed in a brilliant chalet. Fantastic holiday all round!

Fantastic location at the base of a couple of red and a nice smooth blue run. Lift options at both ends of the village with well maintained slopes. We visited in early April and there was snow down to resort level at 1600 and slopes were pretty quiet, never had to queue more than 2 minutes for any lifts or cable cars.

My families first experience of skiing and it is safe to say I have created a monster. All have caught the bug and are desperate to return. This is all down to the fabulous holiday created for us at Paisey. The facilities, the staff, the instruction was all second to none. Nothing was too much trouble, everyone was made to feel special and we all left with an enormous sense of achievement at the end of the week. Absolutely fabulous

Pros: connected to les arcs and la plagne ski areas so lots of skiing, easily accessible to beginner area, fantastic mountain restaurants, good apres especially at Arpette. Cons: expensive as most French resorts are, accom options are limited if you want somewhere self catered, town is small and some nightlife but nothing compared to Val/three valleys, gets very busy during school holidays, ski pass now as expensive as Val.

Slopes were struggling with the warm weather. That said higher up, snow was good. Not sure why they don't provide spare \ empty cabins to uplift, midway up transarc, too big a queue. Hardly any entertainment\restaurants in resort and last lift 6pm to link to Les Arcs. Navette not ideal, difficult to determine routes and times
