At the heart of the Pays des Écrins, Puy Saint Vincent and Pelvoux-Vallouise form a pair of human-sized resorts that cultivate the same art of mountain living. Here, you can ski between larch forests and white peaks, hike to the glaciers, share a mulled wine on a sunny terrace or a log fire in a refuge.
Pelvoux-Vallouise, the resort for lovers of authenticity
At an altitude of between 1,250 and 2,300 metres, Pelvoux-Vallouise unfurls its slopes in a wild setting, suspended between fir trees and dazzling peaks. The atmosphere is simple and friendly, almost timeless.
Skiers of all abilities can enjoy the well-exposed slopes of the Pelvoux valley, while those looking for a more gentle experience can try their hand at ski touring or snowshoeing, as well as ice climbing, sledging or dog sledding.

Winter 2025-2026 will also see the return of some great sporting and festive events. Pelvoo Village, an enchanting mountain fair, will open its doors on 20 December.
This will be followed by the Testi'Vol at the beginning of March and the Elite Ski Mountaineering World Cup at the end of March, confirming the valley's dynamism. It's an area that's raw, friendly and open to the great outdoors, where every descent feels like an adventure.
Puy Saint Vincent, solar energy in the Pays des Écrins
Higher up, Puy Saint Vincent's slopes stretch from 1,400 to 1,800 metres on a south-facing slope overlooking the Écrins massif. A family resort par excellence, it combines sport with a gentle way of life.
Its three altitude levels offer more than 75 kilometres of perfectly groomed runs, and snow renowned for its quality thanks to the exposure and the care taken by the technical team.
At Puy Saint Vincent, you can ski, try your hand at snowboarding or boardercross, try Nordic walking or fondue in an igloo. And when the spatulas take a rest, the conviviality takes over on the snow front terraces.
Committed to sustainable tourism, the resort is also banking on renewable energies. New gondolas, a refurbished telemix and redesigned facilities at 1,400 metres are all part of an ongoing effort to reduce its environmental footprint without sacrificing any of the pleasure of skiing.
