Why choose Saint François Longchamp
Nestled in the Maurienne Valley, St François Longchamp boasts 70 km of skiable terrain. The resort is part of the Grand Domaine ski area, which sees it combined with Doucy and Valmorel, with a total of 165km of skiing.
The resort’s elevation reaches 2,250 metres, helping to ensure excellent snow coverage throughout the season. As a lesser-known resort, with superb ski lift infrastructure and exceptional lift pass pricing, it does not get as busy as some of the more recognised French resorts.
