In the Heart of the Mont-Blanc Region

Skiing and Winter Activities
The Passy ski area consists of several sectors, primarily centered around Plaine-Joux, which is one of the main access points. It features about 30 kilometers of slopes suitable for skiers of all levels, from beginners to advanced.
Passy is also an excellent place for cross-country skiing and snowshoeing, with marked trails that offer a full immersion into the snow-covered landscapes of the valley.
