Hirmentaz - Les Habères
About the area
Hirmentaz - Les Habères is a small area with about 23 km of pistes, weighted towards easier and mid-level skiing: roughly 11 km of blue, 9 km of red and 2 km of green, with just 1 km of black (3%). That mix suits confident intermediates best. Beginners will find enough terrain — 57% of the pistes are green or blue, 13 km in total, and there are 14 short easy runs right next to a lift base — but the low share of gentle green skiing is a caveat. Experts have little here: the longest single run drops only 266 m of vertical.
Twenty lifts serve the slopes, mostly 15 drag lifts plus 5 chairs. The skiing runs from 940 m to 1604 m, so snow depends on the season at these altitudes. The longest run measures 2058 m. There are also 34 km of cross-country trails and 2 km of floodlit piste.
