About the area

Le Grand Domaine in Savoie is an easy-skiing area: of 125.05 km of piste, 74% is green or blue, which works out at 92 km, so beginners and families have the run of most of the map. First steps are covered by 12 magic carpets, and there are 19 short easy runs right next to a lift base. Strong skiers will find it thin — only 9 km is black/expert/freeride (7%), and the longest vertical on one run is 522 m.

The slopes run from 1219 m at the bottom to 2515 m at the top, with 53 lifts. Five gondola/cable-car lifts mean no chairlift loading with small children, while 13 chair lifts and 17 platters serve the rest. Snowmaking covers 29 km, and the longest single descent measures 2446 m.
