About The Resort..
Ski Puy St Vincent
Puy St Vincent 1400 is found in Les Ecrins, the largest park in France with a staggering 92000 acres. The year round resort is split into two levels, 1400 and 1600m. Puy 1600 is larger than 1400 and a better location for lift access. Sadly there is a bit of a concrete block right in the middle which is a little ugly! Puy St Vincent 1400 is the more relaxed of the two resorts and really a sweet little hamlet. Nearby you will find other hamlets like Le Villaret, Les Pres, Les Albers and the original village Le PUy with its churches. When you arrive at your chosen accommodation you will be given a Guest card which give syou some good discounts on ski school, lift passes, the cinema and numerous other activities
