Very nice resort

A top-notch ski area. A warm welcome and incredibly friendly shopkeepers (Le Slalom, the Photo Shop, the various bars, etc.)

Fantastic resort facing due south, so don't forget your sunscreen as the sun is often shining!
The slopes are intermediate, there's something for everyone. From those who want to improve their technique on steep runs to those who prefer gentle slopes to admire the scenery, there's something for everyone.
Go all the way to the top and you'll be rewarded with a magnificent panorama, with Mont Blanc peeking out from the center.
The resort has a welcoming atmosphere and there's always something to eat for lunch or a snack break, like enjoying a delicious hot Viennese hot chocolate with a crispy waffle.
The Piou Piou ski school is always there and offers a variety of activities for children. The toboggan run offers amazing rides for a small price, and you can always leave with a souvenir photo.
I highly recommend this resort as it remains one of my best memories; you're never disappointed.
Have a wonderful day!

The ski area is fantastic, especially with the connection to Valmorel, offering a huge number of runs. The snow is good, and the exposure is perfect. All the resort staff are friendly and welcoming. There's plenty to do for children, with activities available at the end of the day!
The slopes aren't overcrowded and are well-maintained. I'd love to come back!

Excellent resort, we've been going for six years now. Beautiful grounds and very affordable apartments.
I highly recommend this resort to families and others.

The slopes are wide, ideal for snowboarding close to the edge.
There are special offers with weekend lift passes, and the Carte Blanche card provides discounts on lift passes. The resort is being updated with small jumps and a new riding area on one of the slopes.
The boardercross course is also fun.
The view of Mont Blanc from the top of Le Frêne is breathtaking. Snowshoeing trails, spa treatments, bowling, and restaurants make the resort appealing.
Muriel DAGUE
A beautiful family resort, which I knew as a child in the late 70s and early 80s. A quintessential sunny resort, perfect for families, friends, or solo travelers. There's something for everyone. All levels are happy, from beginners to intermediate and advanced skiers. The connection to Valmorel is also very convenient. ☺️ We just have to hope that the snow will always return to Saint-François, so that it can continue to delight us for decades to come. ⛷️⛷️
