Thirty-eight kilometres of piste roll across the Grand Bec sector, gentle on the wallet and gentle on the family. When you want the bigger picture, the Sybelles is one road over.

A handful of chalet hotels in the upper hamlet of Albiez-le-Jeune sit metres from the piste back to the lifts, so ski-in/ski-out is realistic if you book carefully. Most accommodation in Albiez-Montrond proper involves a short walk or a free shuttle.
The Maurienne sunny balcony is one of those French Alps backwaters that locals keep quiet about on purpose. Twelve lifts serve 38 km of piste split into twelve greens, fifteen blues, eight reds and three blacks, with a friendly snowpark and a long, slow run home through larch forest. The terrain is engineered around children and intermediates rather than thrill-seekers, which is exactly why families come back year after year. The lift pass is one of the cheapest in Savoie, and most hotels and chalets are run by the same families that built them. For more vertical, the road climbs to the Sybelles lift system at Le Corbier and La Toussuire, fifteen minutes away, where 310 km of linked piste open up on a multi-day pass. Down in the valley, Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne has the train station for arrivals from Paris and Lyon, and there are regular shuttles up in season. Booking, Expedia and Hotels.com all cover the few hotels on offer.
