Standing at 1800 metres at the quieter end of the extensive Four Valley ski domain, Les Collons is a skiers’ and snowboarders’ paradise offering easy access to over 400 km of pistes and 68 lifts. With assured snow cover from December through to April, a sophisticated lift system, fewer queues and Verbier just an hour or so ski away, it’s a perfect location.
There are opportunities for skiers of all abilities – the more advanced will relish challenges of Etherolla and the moguls and off-piste around the Mont Fort Glacier; intermediates will enjoy the long, cruising runs at Veysonnaz, including the famous World Cup run, Piste de l’Ours and beginners will gain confidence on the sunny, open slopes above the resort. The snow board park at Thyon is the best in the region.
