Our take
The hidden, quiet side of the Sancy. Pistes for beginners and families, real forest landscapes, low prices.
The small family resort on the Sancy side, in the commune of Chastreix: pistes for all levels, Nordic skiing and snowshoeing, not a single apartment block.
The small family resort on the Sancy side, in the commune of Chastreix. 18 pistes (6 green, 5 blue, 5 red, 2 black) between 1,350 and 1,730 m, a Nordic skiing area, snowshoeing. A 100% natural setting, no apartment blocks. Adult day lift pass €26.30, half-day €22.50 (winter 2025-2026 prices). The resort runs in winter only, with a season that depends on snow cover (for winter 2026-2027, opening planned for 19 December 2026 and closing planned for 21 March 2027, from 9:00 to 17:00 every day): check the snow conditions before you set off.
Why we love it
- The western side of the Sancy, with no apartment blocks
- Going from alpine skiing to snowshoeing on the same day
- Winter light on the slopes when the sky clears
- The pace of a family resort, the smallest in the Sancy massif
Top tip
Ideal for a first time on skis with children. Adult half-day lift pass €22.50, day pass €26.30 (winter 2025-2026 prices), and free for under-4s.
Before you go
- For children who don't ski, two sledging runs stay open all winter, one of them with a covered magic carpet
- Check the snow conditions before you go, especially at the very start and the very end of the season
- Bring snowshoes as a back-up if the lifts are closed in the low season
