Ski-in/ski-out

Crest-Voland is a tiny old Savoyard village with lifts on the doorstep; most lodging is in the village, a short walk or ski from the snow-front.

Get to know the resort

Crest-Voland sits in the Beaufortain near the head of the Val d'Arly, a tiny stone-and-wood village ringed by farms, lift-linked over the hill into the 192 km Espace Diamant alongside Les Saisies, Notre-Dame-de-Bellecombe, Flumet and Praz-sur-Arly. The skiing is mostly gentle, sunny and forested, ideal for families and improvers, and the views toward Mont Blanc are some of the best in the northern Alps. Discreet and low-key, it is one of the genuinely authentic, well-priced bases left in fashionable Savoie.

Good to know

  • The terrain is well balanced: 12 green, 25 blue, 24 red and 5 black runs, which suits a mixed group skiing together at different levels.
  • From 1230 m at the base to 1980 m up top, the resort leans on grooming and snowmaking in lean spells (score 76/100).
  • At 192 km of piste on 80 lifts, it is a substantial mountain that earns a multi-day stay.
  • The lifts typically turn for about 16 weeks a season, planning around late January to late February tends to land the most reliable cover.
