Ski vacations St. Colomban des Villards - Soak up the sun in the heart of the Savoy Alps!

St. Colomban des Villards

Travelling to St. Colomban des Villards, anyone is immediately struck by the intimate charm of the little village at an altitude of 1,100 metres. The community in the Vallée des Villards has just 132 inhabitants, all of whom are extremely proud of the traditions of their homeland. After all, the history of the village goes back to Roman times. Especially in the centre, the history is reflected by the old houses made of wood and stone, which are typical for the region, as well as numerous small chapels and the two churches Saint-Colomban and Saint-Alban.

The majority of the locals in St. Colomban des Villards have lived from skiing itself since the end of the 1950s. The first lifts were built here on the outskirts of the village before the first ski holidaymakers were welcomed a short time later. By merging with five neighbouring ski areas to form the giant ski area Les Sybelles in 2003, the idyllic Villards valley also became increasingly popular with guests. In combination with a modern, touristic infrastructure, however, the community continues to be characterised by its secluded and quiet location to this day.

Les Sybelles

The sunny Les Sybelles ski region in the heart of Savoy comprises a variety of different locations and several small hamlets. Located at the Col de la Croix de Fer (2,067 m), it is an impressive winter sports region. From idyllic mountain villages to modern ski resorts, Les Sybelles has something for everyone. A wide range of family-friendly activities and a varied programme have earned part of the ski region the "Family Plus" seal of quality. But the region also has plenty to offer away from the slopes. In addition to a wide range of winter hiking trails and cross-country skiing opportunities, the mountains can also be explored by dog sled or snowshoes. Furthermore, numerous restaurants and huts are ready to spoil their holiday guests with typical Savoyard specialities.
