Les Saises Ski Nestled between the valleys of Beaufortain and Val d'Arley is the pretty resort of Les Saises. The resort is made up largely of traditional architecture and it's glorious surroundings to make it a pleasant place to be. When you combine this with the brilliant and vast skiing on you're doorstop, the Espace Diamant ski area, you know you're in for a winner.
Les Saisies is just 25km from Albertville the host of the 1992 Olympics and lies between 2 valleys The Beaufortain and the Val D'Arly and what's more it's right next to Mt Blanc. It is occassionally referred to as the French Tyrol and is the home of Frack Picfcard the Olympic medal winner.

 What's an easy way to carry skis?
Well we found the ‘THE HANDLE’ . This nifty little device allows you to carry your skis around without causing major injury to yourself and other members of the public. It’s incredibly easy to use – no Velcro just a click buckle. It’s also light and small enough to put in your pocket. www.ski-walker.com

Recommend La Ferme du Chozal next to the ski lifts to stay in. Great resort and good for all levels of skiers. We took the kids two years ago and they loved it. The whole village feels very authentic and the locals are friendly. This if my third year renting skis at Piccard Sports through Snowbrainer. Definitely recommend their shops and definitely recommend your service
