Saint-Sorlin-d'Arves for beginners

Beginners rating -
71
Perfect
This place is practically a beginners' haven, thanks to the nursery area conveniently located next to the village center. Two magic carpets and three drag lifts are perfect for building up confidence. Once you're feeling ready, the Moulin Express chairlift will whisk you up to the Boulevard green run for a scenic journey back to the village.

If you're an intermediate skier, you're in for a real treat. With well-groomed blues and reds in the La Balme sector, you can stick close to the village. But for the adventurous, head over to L'Ouillon and then to Le Corbier or La Toussuire, where the slopes offer a bit more of a challenge.

Saint-Sorlin-d'Arves for advanced

Advanced skiers rating -
Fun
Perfect
Expert skiers can find their thrills on black runs near Les Trois Lacs and Les Perrons. While the resort doesn't offer thigh-burning runs, it compensates with extensive terrain that lets you cover multiple villages in a single day.

Saint-Sorlin-d'Arves for snowboarders

Snowboarders rating -
Fun
Perfect
The area is mostly boarder-friendly, but watch out for the narrow blues in the St Colomban des Villards sector; you'll need poles to help you along. Looking to flex those freestyle muscles? Head over to the Sybelles snow park near L'Ouillon, where color-coded features make it easy to level up your tricks.

Saint-Sorlin-d'Arves for off-pistes

Off-pistes rating -
Fun
Perfect
Saint-Sorlin-d'Arves is a freerider's dream, with its vast off-piste terrain that includes the challenging Combe de Bellard and the high-altitude thrills of the Perrons sector. The resort is known for its deep powder and steep, ungroomed slopes that provide an adrenaline rush for experienced skiers. Additionally, the resort's high elevation ensures consistent snow quality throughout the season, making it a reliable destination for off-piste enthusiasts.

Saint-Sorlin-d'Arves for families

Families rating -
Fun
Perfect
St Sorlin shines as a family-friendly destination, complete with nursery slopes for the little ones and fun zones filled with activities to keep them entertained. From artisan candy classes to sled rides down the hill, there's never a dull moment. While it offers a more laid-back atmosphere, the village ensures a rewarding experience for every family member.

Saint-Sorlin-d'Arves apres-ski

Apres-ski rating -
Perfect
Poor
While St Sorlin may not be the go-to for wild après parties, it definitely delivers a cozy, intimate atmosphere. La Grotte du Yéti is your spot for some chilled-out vibes right off the mountain. For those who want to dance the night away, D'Sybell Club near the Choucas lift is where the party goes 'til late.
