Saint-Luc - Chandolin
About the area
Saint-Luc – Chandolin in Valais offers about 55 km of pistes, and the balance leans to easy and mid-range skiing: 20 km of blue, 26 km of red and only 7 km of black plus 1 km of marked freeride. Beginners are well served — 37% of the runs are green or blue, three magic carpets cover first turns, and 13 short easy runs sit next to a lift base. Families should note the mix: 16% of the terrain is black, expert or freeride. Experts will find it thin, with the longest single vertical just 534 m.
The area spans 1,681 m to 2,972 m, so the upper slopes hold height well. Eighteen lifts serve it: two funiculars from the valley, three chairlifts, eight platters, two T-bars and three carpets. The longest run measures 3,161 m.
