Les Crosets - Ski Area Guide

A small ski station best suited to dedicated skiers, with three hotels located at the foot of the ski slopes. This village, located at 1,668m, is the ideal jumping-off point for families, sports lovers and anyone who wants to explore the Portes du Soleil.

The experienced instructors at the Swiss Ski School await beginner and advanced skiers and snowboarders alike for lessons and guiding.
