Les Karellis
About the area
Les Karellis in Savoie is a small, easy-going area: 45 km of pistes, of which 54% (25 km) are green or blue. Beginners are well served, with 13 km of green runs, a magic carpet for first turns and eight short easy runs right next to a lift base. Intermediates get the most variety, since red pistes make up 15 km. Experts will find little: only about 5 km of black, expert and freeride terrain (10%), including 1 km marked freeride, and the longest vertical on a single run is 511 m. Families should note there is just one magic carpet.
The slopes run from 1,549 m up to 2,483 m, which helps snow cover in the upper sectors. Fourteen lifts serve the area: 6 chairlifts, 5 platters, 2 drag lifts and the magic carpet. The longest descent measures 4,137 m.
