About Les Crosets

A family-orientated village nestling at 1,668m above sea level, Les Crosets is a fantastic jumping point for skiing in the Portes du Soleil. In a picturesque Alpine setting in the shadow of snow-crowned mountain ridges, it is the perfect destination for a family skiing holiday. The best places to stay in Les Crosets tend to be laid-back spots, ideal for all the family.

If you're travelling during the wintertime, be sure to take advantage of the brilliant ski school. Geared towards families, it is suitable for all ages and levels of experience: up in the Portes du Soleil, there are hundreds of different pistes, leading all the way up to the infamous Chavanette slope, known as the "Swiss Wall" - the steepest black piste in all of Switzerland while snowboarders will enjoy conquering the snowpark.

During the summer, the area undergoes a radical metamorphosis: the once soft white slopes become green and the meadows spring with wildflower. The mountains become perfect for hiking or cycling, with many paved mountain trails opening up and the Portes du Soleil fills up with hikers hoping to conquer the great mountain pass. Fishing in the Lac Vert is also a popular pastime, and the braver visitors enjoy a spot of paragliding.
