Old world charm, new world convenience in Family Friendly Peisey Vallandry (and the skiing’s great too!)
Located at over one and a half kilometers above sea level, Peisey Vallandry overlooks the stunning Tarentaise valley and is linked to both Les Arcs and La Plagne by the 160lifts of the Paradiski Region.
Peisey offers skiing for all abilities; from green cruisers, through vast amounts of intermediate and advanced terrain, to the black, double black and wildest off piste terrain anyone could wish for.
But there’s a great deal more here than just great skiing.
Peisey’s south facing aspect makes for sunny days and warm patios outside those charming alpine restaurants for which France is so well known: Ski into your sun lounger? Not quite, but you can definitely order a drink before you’ve got your skis off.
And for families, it doesn’t get any more convenient than this: A stay at the all inclusive Club Med Peisey Vallandry sets your kids up with lessons each day in the safe hands of expert local instructors, leaving you free to go explore the mountain with your own guide, or on your own as you please.
After skiing, let the kids play in the pool, then join the daily Club Med variety show: Music, juggling, dancing, acrobats…. every day, something new, something else to enrapture the kids. Just as you start to wonder where they get their energy, it’s dinner time, with food to suit the tastes of all, from young to old, from casual through to high quality local cuisine.
Looking for a quiet moment? Hop in the open air gondola for the short ride down to Peisey Nancroix, and stroll the winding streets, stairs and alleyways of the farming hamlet of Peisey Nancroix. Pause at the church and enjoy the expansive views along the valley and across rank upon rank of distant mountain, orange in the setting sun.
Here in Peisey the old and new worlds collide, creating a fascinating, friendly destination that stands out as the last word in convenience for a skiing family.
The only catch? Your kids won’t want to leave. Ever…….!
