Praz-sur-Arly looks across the Val d'Arly to Mont Blanc, a quiet village just minutes from the cachet of Megève but at a fraction of the prices. Its lifts climb into the 192 km Espace Diamant shared with Les Saisies, Crest-Voland, Notre-Dame-de-Bellecombe and Flumet, mostly gentle and forested, with the snow-sure altitude side over Les Saisies kept for fresh tracks. The village is famous for the hot-air balloons that fill the valley on bluebird mornings, an unmistakable Savoyard postcard.
