Ski areas and resorts in France

Praz de Lys - Sommand is a twinned ski resort starting at a high altitude and composed of Sommand resort and Praz de Lys resort both linked by ski trails and chair lifts over and around their dividing mountains. Sommand sits high above its village of Mieussy and Praz de Lys sits above Taninges. The ski resort of Les Gets is also nearby Praz de Lys, about 15 minutes drive. It was opened in approximately 1978. There are 24 ski lifts, 6 chairlifts, beginner's areas in both sides with a child-safe moving carpet lift, and a Snowpark and Boarder cross ski areas on the Sommand side. Sommand and Praz de Lys permit only low impact minimal infrastructure development to preserve the natural environment and views. The focus is on enjoyment of nature, and new permitted development uses traditional savoyard chalet construction and is within zoned areas naturally screened by pine forests. Downhill skiing is available at all levels from black runs through gentle family runs. The area also offers cross country ski trails, and walking trails, and maintains a family-oriented focus.
