Location and surroundings
Vallandry
Vallandy is a small, cosy French village consisting of a number of authentic houses, farms, Savoyard-style apartment buildings and chalets. In the centre of the village there is an assortment of shops, restaurants, bars and a nightclub.
Skiing in Vallandry
The village of Vallandry is located at an altitude of 1600m in the centre of the vast ski area of Paradiski. It is located in the same area as Les Arcs which has over 117km of ski slopes. The resort of La Plagne is also accessible via a ski lift. Due to its central location in such a large resort, Vallandry is a perfect ski holiday spot for both beginner and advanced skiers and snowboarders.
Sunweb has a great collection of different accommodations in Vallandry. From cheap apartments, to large luxurious chalets there are ski packages to suit all budgets and group sizes.

Les Arcs/Peisey-Vallandry
Skiing in Les Arcs/Peisey-Vallandry
Together with La Plagne, Les Arcs/Peisey-Vallandry is part of the larger Paradiski ski area. The villages of Les Arcs and Peisey-Vallandry together form a ski resort with a total of 106 pistes in a 200km area. Les Arcs is the most well-known of the two, so it can get quite busy there, but you can usually enjoy peaceful skiing around Peisey-Vallandry. This is also reflected in the waiting times at the ski lifts, which are almost non-existent there.
For beginners, the slopes in the lower parts of Arc 1600 and 1800 are ideal for mastering skiing. For advanced skiers, the famous Aiguille Rouge black slope is the place to visit. This is perhaps the most challenging slope within the whole Paradiski area. With the top at an altitude of no less than 3200 metres, there is a fantastic 360° view over Mont Pourri, Pierra Menta, and of course Mont Blanc.
Discover La Passerelle on the Aiguille Rouge, a panoramic walkway at 3200 metres altitude. This walkway is accessible to pedestrians, children, and skiers. With a length of 35 metres, it offers you a breathtaking view over the Hauts de Villaroger nature reserve.
Activities in Les Arcs
Les Arcs features some fantastic snow parks. They are renowned as the most snowboard-friendly spots in all of Europe! At the 7.5-hectare Apocalypse snow park, be sure not to miss the Big Air competition, where you can watch the best freestyle skiers and snowboarders jump from a launchpad. You can also practise your stunts on the rails, boxes, and other obstacles there, including a water slide. Can you ski to the other side without getting wet?
Besides regular skiing or snowboarding, Les Arcs offers so much more. How about some ski touring, cross-country skiing, tobogganing, paragliding, snowshoeing, skijouring, dogsledding, or a visit to Mille8? Nothing is too crazy in Les Arcs!
La Folie Douce
La Folie Douce offers three restaurants right by the slopes. Enjoy great food, unique shows, delicious drinks, and of course some après-ski fun. Every day from 13:30 - 14:30, there is a cabaret show held there. Afterwards, it’s time for a party with amazing music played by well-known DJs. La Folie Douce is open until 19:00 and even later on Thursdays.
