Slopes map

Two entrance gates for each municipality, located in Villard and Corrençon. On the Villard side, head to Bois Barbu. From the Corrençon side, take to the slopes from the Hauts Plateaux.


Skating or alternative?

Skating

Skating is the most recent addition to cross-country skiing (80s). To move, you’ll need to use a skater’s step. This movement is similar to that of ice skating or rollerblading.

Once you’ve found your balance, the feeling of gliding and speed is unbeatable! A truly fun sport for everyone. Little ones will find their balance very quickly, though it may take a little longer for older skiiers

Skating is most notably practised as part of biathlon, combined with rifle shooting. The Villard/Corrençon Nordic ski school offers introductory lessons!

Alternative skiing

Alternative cross-country skiing is the most “classic” form of this discipline.

This skiing technique uses parallel skis on the rails provided for this purpose at the sides of the slopes.

The skis are equipped with an anti-reverse system that allows you to move forward on the rails.

The movement is very similar to walking, making the practice very easy and accessible!
For the more athletic, simply increasing your pace will offer up more technical and intense skiing.

Discover this ultra-accessible practice on our ski area, offering a range of slopes to suit all levels
