Val d'Allos - La Foux
About the area
Val d'Allos - La Foux in the Southern Alps has 96 km of marked terrain, and almost half of it (47 km, 49%) is black, expert or freeride, including 38 km of marked freeride. That makes it a strong pick for confident skiers, with 621 m of vertical on a single run. Intermediates get 23 km of red and 22 km of blue. Beginners are more limited: only 26% of the pistes are green or blue (25 km), though there are 2 magic carpets and about 20 short easy runs grouped near a lift base, which also helps families with small children.
The area runs from 1702 m to 2591 m and is served by 18 lifts: 8 chairlifts, 4 drag lifts, 3 platters, 1 rope tow and the 2 carpets. The longest descent measures 4369 m. Snowmaking covers 10 km, so cover on the main links is backed up in thin periods.
