Peisey-Vallandry

Peisey-Vallandry is a charming and traditional alpine village in Savoie, idyllically nestled between pine and larch forests in the French Alps. The village is particularly known for its atmospheric forest runs—long, varied slopes winding through the woods providing natural shelter, good visibility, and a calm skiing experience even on challenging weather days. Peisey-Vallandry is an integral part of the vast Paradiski ski area and is directly connected to La Plagne via the iconic Vanoise Express cable car, which floats high above the valley and opens up more than 400 km of interconnected slopes. Despite the direct access to one of Europe’s largest ski areas, the village has maintained its authentic alpine identity with stone and wood chalets, small squares, and a strong local community. The atmosphere is relaxed and family-friendly, far removed from the more hectic ski resorts. After skiing, you can enjoy Savoyard specialties at cozy restaurants, where fondue, raclette, and tartiflette are served in intimate settings with views of snow-covered mountain peaks. In summer, Peisey-Vallandry transforms into a perfect starting point for hikes and nature experiences with panoramic views over Vanoise National Park.
