Crest-Voland-Cohennoz, French Alps

Crest-Voland-Cohennoz: 5 things to know before you go

French Alps, France 🇫🇷

A real old Savoyard village in the Beaufortain, Crest-Voland is one of the gateways into the 192 km Espace Diamant, linked with Les Saisies. Postcard mountains, gentle slopes and refreshingly low prices.

1.Is the snow reliable in Crest-Voland-Cohennoz?

Usually, with help. From 1230 m to 1980 m the resort leans on grooming and snowmaking in lean spells, so check the live report before booking early or late dates (score 76/100).

2.Do you need a car, or can you ski in and out?

Ski-in/ski-out depends on the address here: some hotels are on the snow, others need a short walk or shuttle. Pick a slopeside address if skiing from the door matters to you.

3.How big is the ski area, and who is it for?

At 192 km of piste on 80 lifts, it is a substantial mountain that rewards a multi-day stay. The terrain is balanced (12 green, 25 blue, 24 red, 5 black), which suits a mixed-level group skiing together.

4.What is the resort like?

Crest-Voland-Cohennoz stands out for a family-friendly setup.

5.When is the best time to go?

The season usually runs Dec 14 to Apr 7 (about 16 weeks). For the most dependable cover, the deep-winter window of January to February is the safe bet. Conditions soften as spring arrives, so earlier in the window is the safer call.
