Skiing in Vallandry
Vallandry is a modern chalet village at around 1,600 metres on the wooded flank of Les Arcs, in the Tarentaise in the French Alps. Together with adjacent Plan Peisey it forms the Peisey-Vallandry sector, strategically placed next to the departure station of the Vanoise Express, the cable car to La Plagne. That puts you in the middle of Paradiski, with hundreds of kilometres of pistes on one pass and up to 191 centimetres of snow recorded in recent winters. Vallandry is small and calm, built in chalet style and almost entirely geared to skiers: many accommodations sit right on the piste. We list 3 accommodations, with prices from 977 euros per person.

Skiing from Vallandry
Vallandry sits directly on the pistes of the Peisey-Vallandry sector, known for its sheltered runs among the larches. From the village you step straight into the lift and within a few rides reach the high parts of Les Arcs, up to the Aiguille Rouge descents.
The Vanoise Express to La Plagne departs practically around the corner, making Vallandry one of the handiest spots for exploring both halves of Paradiski. Pistes for every level are within reach.
Snow reliability in Vallandry
At 1,600 metres, with north-facing forest pistes above the village and links to terrain beyond 3,000 metres, Vallandry is a safe bet for snow. Recent winters recorded up to 191 centimetres in the area.
The wooded flank keeps the snow around the village relatively well. In December and March the lowest stretch can soften, but with the high terrain of Les Arcs and La Plagne in reserve you ski right through the season.
The village: compact and skier-focused
Vallandry is a young village, built in chalet style, with a compact core of residences, a few restaurants and shops for daily essentials. Evenings are quiet; apres-ski means a friendly bar at most.
The village's strength is convenience: short walking distances, plenty of piste-side accommodation and the lift a few minutes away. For village romance, stroll to the old hamlets of neighbouring Peisey-Nancroix.
Who Vallandry suits
Vallandry fits families and groups of skiers who put comfort and piste convenience first. Children walk safely to ski school, and intermediates and experts have a superb base with all of Paradiski at hand.
Beginners get a good start on the calm terrain of the home sector. If you want a lively village with nightlife, or a historic mountain village, pick another centre; Vallandry is above all practical and relaxed.
Practical: getting there and booking
You reach Vallandry via Bourg-Saint-Maurice; from the Benelux it is a drive of roughly 10 to 11 hours. By train, travel to Bourg-Saint-Maurice followed by a short transfer up the hillside.
Our selection in Vallandry counts 3 accommodations, from 977 euros per person, mostly spacious, comfortable stays close to the piste. With capacity this limited, book early, certainly for February. January and late March are better priced.
