Cross-country Les Saisies
Information on cross-country skiing
120 km Cross-country trails (in km):
Les Saisies is the home of Nordic skiing! At the 1992 Winter Olympics, the cross-country skiing and biathlon competitions took place here, and so for 30 years now the town has been considered the French cross-country skiing mecca. A total of 120 kilometres of cross-country ski trails are available to winter sports enthusiasts here. Almost all of the more than a dozen trails are located on a forested but snow-sure high plateau (1,550 to 1,750 m).
The entire area offers the best conditions for all cross-country skiers, from beginner trails to challenging circuits at World Cup level. The most difficult and up to 22 kilometres long loop is the one named after eight-time biathlon world champion Raphaël Poirée. The cross country trail is even equipped with a timing system that allows amateur cross-country skiers to approach the time set for the course by the French winter sports idol.
The Nordic Centre of Les Saisies also offers 20 kilometres of winter hiking trails, 45 kilometres of groomed snowshoe trails and eleven non-groomed snowshoe routes. In addition, there are more cross-country trails in Espace Diamant in Notre Dame de Bellecombe 1350 with a circuit and in Praz sur Arly with a connection to Megève.
