Here, you can reconnect with nature and enjoy a change of scenery, oxygen and activities for the whole family: cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, ski touring, tobogganing and fat biking.
Between vast expanses of immaculate snow and forests, the La Colle-Saint-Michel Nordic ski area enjoys optimum sunshine. Situated between the Vaïre and Verdon valleys, it offers exceptional views and opens the door to wide-open spaces.
Gilles’ advice:
If you take the north-facing slopes, you’ll have an exceptional view of the Vaïre valley and the hamlet of Peyresq. Perched on a rocky outcrop, its lord was Claude Fabri de Peiresc, a great humanist of the 17th century, and today it welcomes scientists from all over the world.
Around the village, true to its pastoral history, you’ll find 57 kilometers of cross-country ski trails and a 21km Nordic itinerary, pure happiness for beginners and experienced cross-country skiers alike.
