St Sorlin d’Arves is a lovely, old and quintessentially French village, with ancient wood and stone architecture built around the baroque church of Saint Saturnin. The village sits at the foot of the Etendard glacier in the shadow of the Col de la Croix de la Fer peak, high up over the Maurienne Valley - stunning views on clear days are guaranteed.

The word village may suggest a small and sleepy resort, but rest assured that the vibe is very much awake, with plenty to do during the day and in the evenings. You’ll find a brilliant choice restaurants, serving a mixture of mountain classics, French cuisine and Italian favourites. Cheese lovers will be delighted to know that the local cheese is ‘beaufort’ and anyone really keen on knowing more about its origin and production process can visit the dairy and watch it being made!

The friendly locals do a really fantastic job of ensuring that there is plenty going on throughout the season, and the variety of activities like snow-shoeing, paintballing and paragliding make this the ideal choice for any lover of the great outdoors.

Learners can save money with the ‘beginners only’ ski pass, which allows access to a number of greens around the village so you don’t pay for the black runs… + more

What is St Sorlin d'Arves like for Beginner skiers?

The local ski school provide lessons for all ages and a snow-garden for little ones that combines tuition with indoor fun. Beginners wanting to explore the whole area should catch the TSD Plan du Moulin Express (1) towards the La Balme peak and take the ‘Boulevards’ green, a lovely run back to the village. For higher altitudes, take the TSD Plan du Moulin Express (1) and then TSF des 3 Lacs (14) to the Perrons peak, soak up the scenery before taking the beautiful blue ‘Col des Lacs’ back home.

What is St Sorlin d'Arves like for Intermediate skiers?

Intermediates have a number of great reds around. To blow your ski-webs away, take the TSD Plan du Moulin Express and ski the ‘Balme’ (which connects to a relaxing green at the end) back down to the village. After, take the TSF des 3 Lacs (14) up to the Perrons peak and ski the longer ‘Super 6’ and ‘Tuffs’ for a bigger challenge.

What is St Sorlin d'Arves like for Advanced skiers?

A handful of blacks in the area serve to test experts, who can upgrade to a Sybelles Area pass to ski further afield. For a gentle re-introduction to tricky runs, take lift TSD Plan du Moulin Express (1) to ski the ‘Mur’ run to the village. Once back in the swing of things, hop on the TSD du Rouet (20) towards the Petit Perron area, and take the long ‘Perrons’ back to the village for a well-deserved beer!

St Sorlin d'Arves Restaurants

Families eating out should look no further than Les Neiges in the village centre. They happily provide highchairs and a varied children’s menu. We love La Petite Ferme bar, great for bowling, live sport on big screens and a playroom, where kids can wear themselves out before bed while parents have a beer. The typical Savoyard cuisine is cheese, lots of it, served hot in a variety of ways and with St Sorlin being home to Beaufort, you’ve got to have a fondue while you’re here. If you’re looking for something meatier, wander to the Auberge des Turins for an aperitif on the terrace, followed by a beautifully cooked steak. If you’re seeking out lunch with a view, there are plenty of mountain huts around the resort. Our favourite is L’Alpes which offers some incredible panoramic views of the Aiguilles d’Arves peak. Take the Plan du Moulin Express for a lunch you won’t forget.

St Sorlin d'Arves Après Ski

Despite being very much a traditional French village, Saint Sorlin has a fantastic choice of bars, restaurants and a nightclub as well as some excellent family activities. Anyone looking for a lively evening should check out L’Avalanche which often has live music, fancy dress and a big old list of cocktails and wine. If the cocktails have got you in the party mood the D’sybell Club in the Plan de Moulin is open until 4am, and usually offers a free bus service (on request) for the way home . Alternatively, you look for a free lounge chair in front of one of the many bars and restaurants (in bad weather: a spot at the bar), you drink one or two Génépi (an herbal liquor) and review your day in a friendly round. On sunny afternoons, there is a very inviting atmosphere and the buildings on the Front Niege seem very urban. The real party happens late at night in the discos. Live music is offered sporadically at some of the bars.

Serious skiers, particularly anyone wanting to make the most of the off-piste above the tree-line would benefit from a mid-season holiday (Feb-March) as the snow fall tends to be good around this time. Families will enjoy… + more

The home of Beaufort cheese! A cosier, more traditional resort, with beautiful forest runs and views of the famous and striking Mont Blanc on a clear day!
