About the area

Galibier-Thabor spreads 131 km of pistes across easy and mid-range terrain: 21 km green and 58 km blue make up 61% of the network, or 80 km, so beginners and cruising intermediates have the run of the place. Families are well served by 4 magic carpets and 26 short easy runs next to a lift base, plus 2 gondolas that let small children ride without loading a chairlift. Experts get less: only 10 km, 8% of the area, is graded black or left to freeride, though the longest single vertical of 848 m gives a proper leg-burner.

The slopes run from 1406 m to 2737 m, and 34 lifts (17 chairlifts, 9 platters, 2 gondolas) move you around. The longest descent measures 5 km. Cross-country skiers have about 6 km of prepared tracks.
