The Val d’Allos is divided into three areas: two modern ski resorts - La Foux and Le Seignus - and an old mountain village called Allos.

King of the valley, La Foux sits up at 1800m, a collection of wooden chalets and mountain homes. Together with Pra Loup, it’s part of the 180km Espace Lumière which has a whole host of blue and red runs, and a decent amount of greens and blacks to fill a week on the mountains.

But that’s not your lot… 10km along the valley, Seignus is tight-knit a mix of traditional builds with its own 23km ski area.

9km from Foux and 2km from Seignus, Allos (sometimes known as Le Village) brushes against the Mercantour National park, and makes a pretty and traditional base to explore the valley from.

What is Val d'Allos - La Foux like for Beginner skiers?

ESF is the main ski school here, and you can pick up the basics on the Gentianes and Seolane green runs near the village (the former has snow cannon coverage).

Intermediates can link over to Pra Loup from the Tete de Vescal, where the Aigle run connects with Perdrix down to Les Agneliers.

For more thigh-burning, ski the Sources du Verdon from Tete de Sestriere, which joins with blue runs back to La Faux. It’s well worth heading down to Les Seignus for a day to experience the incredible Valcibie re and Gros Tapy.

Experts will want to climb to the top of the area (take the La Chaup chair, ski Roche aux fees, then hop on the Observatoire chair) where the 3 Eveches black wiggles down the valley. Save a day or two for Seignus, where Combe Leo Lacroix and L’Abrevoir are two of the steepest runs in the area.

Both La Foux and Le Seignus are Famille Plus resorts, meaning whichever area you ski in, your youngsters are going to be looked after marvellously. The tourist board have strict criteria when awarding this label, giving it only to resorts that provide entertainment, activities and a safe environment for all ages. Restaurants with the Famille Plus stamp include the Verfon, 106, Chez Natacha & Gael, C’Claire and Les Ecuriels, meaning you’re not confined to eating in the same place all week.

Bring the kid’s passports along when you’re buying lift passes, as usually under 5’s can ski free and 5-17 year olds get discounts.

With an 180km ski area ahead of you and more over in Le Seignus, groups are unlikely to get bored on these mountains. If you like pub crawls and night clubs however, you might find the area lacking a little – it’s much better for groups who prefer quiet evenings enjoying good food and wine. There are some cracking activities to bring everyone together, like the luge run and driving piste bashers.
