The Resort
Peisey- Vallandry could not be in a better position to enjoy the benefits of the new Vanoise Express cable car link from Les Arcs to La Plagnes. Being ideally placed between the two extensive ski resorts, direct access to the whole of the newly formed Paradiski ski area, is at your fingertips. Vallandry is just 5 mins away in the courtesy minibus with the Vanoise express and two high speed chair lifts (4 and 6 seaters) to take you in any direction you like.
