Swiss skiing in St-LucWinter Sports in St-Luc

Ski and snowboard 60 km of piste in St-Luc between 1650-3000m


L

ong 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.

Ski and Snowboard St-Luc

Personally I find the slopes easier to get to from St Luc than Chandolin, and some of the best of the slopes lie on the St Luc side.

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.
