French Alps, France 🇫🇷
A quiet Val d'Arly village a short hop from Megève, Praz-sur-Arly is the south-western gateway to the 192 km Espace Diamant. Famous for ballooning, with gentle slopes and grand Mont Blanc views.
Usually, with help. From 1036 m to 2069 m the resort leans on grooming and snowmaking in lean spells, so check the live report before booking early or late dates (score 75/100).
This is more of a valley base than a slopeside village, so expect a lift, train or shuttle to the snow each morning. Staying central, near the main lift, saves the most time.
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.
Praz-sur-Arly stands out for a family-friendly setup.
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.
