Rémi Bollard

If you're looking for family friendly skiing Les Saisies is an excellent choice. Really this place ticks a lot of boxes. The main village has maintained a character and charm over the decades of expansion. A little light on the technical end, the resort has a generous spread of red and blue runs that will keep most mixed ability groups happy. At 75km the offering may appear sparse compared to some resorts however with the espacé diamant pass you have access to 192km of pistes and some more magnificent views. Skiing between resorts is pleasant enough and hassle free as they interconnect well. Pistes are rarely overcrowded, which is a bonus for the nervous and the novice skiers as they have space and equally useful for a good uninterrupted bomb down the slopes. The green runs and ski schools are largely situated around the resort centre, which works well when you want to off load the youngsters. Skiing is never cheap but it’s relative obscurity in the international ski travel market helps keep the prices competitive. Skiing Les Saisies and the Espacé Diamant has feeling of peace and intimacy of absence from most resorts. Many of the pistes feel so disconnected from their surroundings that you really can get that feeling of just you and the mountain that normally have to hike into the powder to achieve. To me Les Saisies is the ski resort equivalent of finding to finding the restaurant that all the locals eat at in a tourist town.
