Frequently asked questions about Peisey-Vallandry

Where is Peisey-Vallandry?

When does Peisey-Vallandry open?

Peisey-Vallandry has not announced its opening date for the 2026/27 season yet. Our own estimate, based on the resort's altitude and its past seasons, puts it around November 29, 2026: that is a forecast, not an announcement. The resort confirms the date each autumn and we keep it up to date at https://www.caranva.app/en/esqui/fechas-apertura/peisey-vallandry.

When does Peisey-Vallandry close?

Peisey-Vallandry is expected to close for the 2026/27 season on May 3, 2027. The real date depends on how the snow holds up at the top (3250 m) late in the season, and the resort usually announces it only a few weeks ahead: the up-to-date version is at https://www.caranva.app/en/esqui/fechas-apertura/peisey-vallandry.

How much snow is there in Peisey-Vallandry and are the lifts open?

It changes daily and the resort itself publishes it every morning: snow depth by altitude, open runs and open lifts. The Peisey-Vallandry daily report and forecast are at https://www.caranva.app/en/nieve/francia/peisey-vallandry. When it blows hard, the most exposed lifts are usually the upper ones (3250 m), so it is worth checking before driving up.

At what altitude do you ski in Peisey-Vallandry?

Between 1600 and 3250 metres, a vertical drop of 1650 m. That difference is why the snow is not the same across the whole resort on the same day: the upper slopes hold up better late in the season, while the lower part, at 1600 m, is the first to feel rain or warm weather. That is why the Peisey-Vallandry report is read by altitude band, at https://www.caranva.app/en/nieve/francia/peisey-vallandry.
