Useful information
Your skiing holiday in Saint-Jean-d'Arves, a pretty village resort at an altitude of 1,550 metres.
A small mountain village in Savoie in the Alps, Saint-Jean-d'Arves is located at the foot of the Col de la Croix de Fer, opposite the Aiguilles d'Arves. Transformed into a veritable ski resort in winter thanks to its membership of the Sybelles® ski area, the village resort has retained its authenticity: traditions, agriculture, know-how... making it a friendly, human-scale place where you can indulge in the pleasures of winter sports to the full.
There are several ways to get to Saint-Jean-d'Arves! The resort is easily accessible by motorway, at the foot of the resort, and by TGV from Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne (4 hours from Paris). It is also possible to fly in thanks to the proximity of certain airports, notably Chambéry-Aix, 1 hour away, where shuttle buses run regularly to the resort every Saturday.
Snow cover is guaranteed thanks to 638 snow cannons. The resort also enjoys optimal sunshine (2,035 hours of sunshine per year) and an incredible panorama with views of the symbol of the Maurienne: the Aiguilles d'Arves.
One of the largest ski areas in France: the Sybelles® ski area
The Sybelles® ski area is an unforgettable destination with 120 ski runs for all levels, 61 ski lifts and an area that extends up to an altitude of 2,620 metres. Beginner skiers and families can enjoy skiing in complete safety thanks to the green and blue slopes, some of which are at high altitude! On the other hand, experienced skiers can tackle the resort's red and black slopes. There is also a 4-hectare snowpark.
Finally, there are ski and snowboard schools in every Sybelles® resort for all ages and levels, whether you want to learn the basics or improve your skills!
