Nordic Skiing and Snowshoeing Trails (Peisey-Vallandry)
While Les Arcs is renowned for downhill skiing, the adjacent sector of Peisey-Vallandry (part of the Les Arcs ski area) offers fantastic opportunities for Nordic skiing and snowshoeing. A dedicated Nordic area features several kilometers of groomed cross-country ski trails suitable for both classic and skating techniques, winding through serene forests and offering stunning views. Marked snowshoeing trails allow for exploration of the pristine natural environment, from easy family-friendly loops to more challenging ascents. Equipment rental is available locally. These activities provide a peaceful alternative to the bustling pistes and a chance to immerse oneself in the silent beauty of the winter landscape. Access is typically free for marked trails, with a small fee for groomed Nordic tracks. Trails vary in length and difficulty from 3 km (easy) to 20 km (difficult).
