St Jean d'Arves

The St Jean d'Arves ski resort is part of the Les Sybelles ski area and links in to 310km of pistes. Although the ski area is now one of France's five largest, St Jean d'Arves is a quaint traditional village and very small and friendly. It is located in the L'Arvan valley near the slightly larger main resort of St Sorlin d'Arves its only a 5 minute navette journey between the two villages.

The skiing in the Les Sybelles ski area is great for intermediate skiiers and families and ideal for building confidence. Snowboarders will also find that this ski area has a lot to offer. Explore the wide bowls of La Toussuire and the reds of Le Corbier. For more challenging runs head to the north facing runs above St Sorlin. Get a feel for the mountains with our piste map. The off piste skiing and snowboarding is extensive and is relatively untracked.

It doesn't take long to know the St Jean village inside out - there are only a couple of bars and restaurants, the obligatory ski shop and a supermarket. St Sorlin will take a little longer to explore. This is a delightful area with a true French atmosphere!

Aside from the skiing and snowboarding there are snow shoe trips, dog-sledding and cross country skiing. If good snow conditions are hard to find, you can visit the fromagerie or donkey farm.
