Resort Information - St Francois Longchamp

The village of St Francois Longchamp is based in the increasingly popular Maurienne Valley. However, price wise it’s still excellent value, so get in quick! Based near to the Col de la Madeleine it’s a large purpose built resort providing excellent value, apartment style accommodation, right on the slopes.

 

It is typical of the newer purpose built French resorts in that pretty much all the runs hook up and lead into a central village square which is surrounded by shops, bars and restaurants. The runs into the resort are also quite easy making it fantastic for beginners and children. The ski area itself is called “Le Grand Domaine” and boasts a very respectable 160km of pisted runs with excellent facilities. There is a modern lift network keeping queuing time to a minimal.

 

The area holds potential for the more advanced skier and boarder. There are plenty of snow cannons providing excellent cover and there is the pre requisite half pipe to keep the snowboarders and freestylers happy.

 

It is fantastic for familys with kids wanting convenience but is also good for those of you on a bit of a budget itching to have a blast on snow for the week. It has a good friendly feel to it so it’s a really good contender for pretty much all trips.
