About the area

Paradiski links Les Arcs, Peisey-Vallandry and La Plagne in the Tarentaise Valley, with 404.08 km of pistes in total. 61% of that is green or blue (248 km), so beginners and cruising intermediates get the most room, and 32 magic carpets plus 184 short easy runs ending next to a lift base make first days manageable. Experts still have 53 km of black/expert/freeride terrain (13%), including 2 km of marked freeride and one run with 1080 m of vertical.

There are 163 lifts, among them 27 gondolas and cable cars, which means no chairlift loading with small children, plus 53 chairlifts; the Vanoise Express joins the two halves. The area runs from 1198 m to 3204 m and the longest descent is 6022 m. Snowmaking covers only 1.49 km, so height does the work. Also 25.61 km of nordic trails and 3.58 km of lit piste.
