St-Luc

75 km of piste between 1650-3000m

Long after many resorts have closed, St Luc and its connected resort of Chandolin, still have resort runs and untracked off-piste. The villages require navigating some of the most tortuous roads in the Alps (although there is a bus service from Vissoie for the faint-hearted or car-less), but the journey is compensated for by the destination. The views across the Rhône valley to Crans-Montana beyond are spectacular.

Best of the Slopes

The resort run is open long into the late season, giving you a fabulous 11k run off Bella Tolla all the way down to the village.
