This gem of a resort offers a perfect snow sure experience for groups of all abilities. Set in a beautiful Savoyard environment this will be our 12th season in Les Contamines, where the accommodation is superb and a very modern lift system allows our groups to explore the 120km of skiing up to 2500m. The charming village offers a variety of evening entertainments.

The skiing

Essentially an intermediate skiing area, the terrain does, however, offer ample scope for all grades of skier. Excellent teaching areas are located on the Etape at 1470m and at 1900m on the Signal area, thus ensuring good snow conditions for beginners. The modern lift system with its 8-person gondola whisks you up from the village to Etape and from here there is a selection of chairlifts servicing the higher slopes. The ski school meets the group at Etape, from which they take our groups to suitable areas of the mountain.

Après ski

Les Contamines offers a variety of traditional evening entertainments. It has a selection of cosy crêperies and several bars with live music. There are also many other attractions to choose from.

  • Torch-lit descents
