Recently celebrating its fiftieth birthday, Le Corbier’s one of the newbies of the French skiing scene. It might not be built of old school wooden chalets – tall Corbusier-designed apartment blocks set the scene here – but when it comes to convenience, this place is spot on.

Doorstep skiing is the norm, with ski lifts setting off from the village centre. They connect you with La Toussuire and St Jean d’Arves in the mighty Sybelles ski area, the fourth biggest in France with a whopping 310km of pistes. The ski lift company just poured €30 million into the resort to update the ski lift system and create a beginner’s zone near the tourist office. Up top, the views over the Maurienne valley are spectacular.

Back at base, a big, covered shopping area has all you need for a holiday on the snow, and accommodation (mostly apartments) facing the slopes is within easy walking distance from everything. The whole place is car free, with a big parking area around the back of the resort to leave your wheels in for the week. Maurienne valley are spectacular.

What is Le Corbier like for Beginner skiers?

The beginner’s area is near the tourist office, with a series of gentle slopes served by magic carpets and a platter lift. For practicing, the Jardins run from the tourist office to the foot of the resort has been widened and fitted out with snow cannons. Escargot is a lovely, long, green-graded run to aim for come the end of the week.

What is Le Corbier like for Intermediate skiers?

Favourite blues include cruisey Racourts and Tortue which acts as an alternative route to village centre. The Lait run into St Jean d’Arves is worth a ski - named so for being the route that farmers take for milking in the summer.

If you’re looking for good reds in the local area, don’t miss the Chamois and Culbute pistes, or the Combe and Stade from the mid station. The real joy for intermediates here is exploring the whole Sybelles area – connect to La Toussuire via Renard or take the lifts up to L’Ouillon for the lovely Edelweiss run down towards St Sorlin.

What is Le Corbier like for Advanced skiers?

Experts will only find a couple of black pistes locally - J. N. Augert is widely considered the most difficult in the area and Jonquilles serves up another steep challenge. The main thing to do is test your mileage touring the other Sybelles resorts

What is Le Corbier like for snowboarding?

Lots of blue and reds and there is the 1.5km circuit on the Ouillon peak with 14 beds and whoops, which snowboarders will love. There is also a snow park, with the usual obstacles, facing the Aiguille d'Arves Massif.

What is Le Corbier like for off-piste skiing?

Get a guide to show you the off-piste runs into St Sorlin, over to la Toussiere and further afield.

What is Le Corbier like for cross country skiing?

Le Corbier and La Toussuirre, 4km away, have a network of cross-country trails amounting to about 24km.

Le Corbier Restaurants

Most of the bars here double up as restaurants, letting you choose whether to spend your visit drinking, feasting or both.Le Yeti does drinks on the sun terrace, pizza in the restaurant and DJ evenings, while Roches Blanche is a favourite for wine and nibbles round the fire. At La Fontaine de l’Ours, the music comes accompanied with cracking fondue and raclette, and after getting to know the locals in cosy St Moritz, try the Savoyard food and you’ll want to take the chef home with you!

Le Corbier Après Ski

For a drink with a view, the outdoor seating at Le Charmun faces the Aiguilles d'Arves.To carry on the evening, Le Purple night club stays open late, often with themed evenings. The Purple Discothèque welcomes vacationers and seasonal workers eager to make the most of their stay and dance until the early morning. Located in the heart of the resort, the Purple Discothèque regularly hosts themed parties to enhance the atmosphere and ensure unforgettable moments.

Le Corbier Activites for Non-skiers

If you fancy a break from skiing, visit the local leather factory where you can buy locally made goods. Or, opt for a stint in the wellness centre for a dip in the heated pool, soak in the Jacuzzi or sizzle in the sauna. There’s a sledding area near the village for good old fashioned snowy fun, and husky rides, skidoos and snowshoe walks are also available

This is one of the elite resorts with the Famille Plus label – awarded by the French tourist board for places that really push the boat out for children and parents.

If you’re travelling with children who are too young to ski, the nursery looks after 6 month – 4 year olds. There’s also the Cosmos mini club for the next age group up, where 5-13 year olds can join a combined ski school and childcare programme. Both options offer half day, full day and week-long packages.

The car-free, ski in / ski out set up of the resort works brilliantly for families, saving the hassle of the morning ski school commute and meaning you can easily pop back to your apartment if need be during the day.

When it comes to the activities you can enjoy together, husky rides are a real treat and the toboggan area can bring hours of fun. The resort has a games library where you’ll find a range of books and board games to enjoy together. In previous seasons, the tourist office have arranged a “Family Day” including treasure hunts on the mountains, hot chocolate and games of BumperBall.

Being one of France’s biggest ski area ticks a big box for groups of mixed abilities. While those who’ve never skied before practice in the beginner’s area, anyone with more experience on the slopes can set off to explore the slopes around La Toussuire, St Jean d’Arves and further afield. Meet up on the mountain (we like the deck chairs at Charmun) or back in resort by the fireplace at Roches Blanche. One of our favourite group activities is the evening skidoo rides, which can be arranged through the Clin d'Oeil shop.
