Location
Puy Saint-Vincent is located close to some of the highest summits in the Hautes Alps and is on the doorstep of the Ecrins National Park. Its ideal location has meant that the site has become one of the starting points for some of the biggest high mountain races. The resort combines both new and old, having the advantage of a modern centre yet surrounded by authentic traditional mountain villages.
Ski Facts
The Southern Alps covers a huge area, stretching from the Mercantour in the Alpes Maritimes to the Bauges in Isère. It is difficult to summarise the skiing in this vast area, which itself is divided into different ski regions. However one of the main differences between skiing in the Northern Alps and the Southern Alps is sunshine! There are some epic runs, like the Sarenne in Alpe d?Huez, which is the longest run in Europe at over 17kms (Starts black and finishes green). Also the chance to ski the ?68 Olympic downhill runs at Chamrousse, or follow in the ski steps of Luc Alphand in Serre Chevalier. All these areas offer fantastic off-piste opportunities and a wide variety of pistes from beginner to expert.
