PRA-LOUP

Founded in 1961, Pra Loup is unique and considered to be one of the best ski resorts in the southern Alps ... Its sunny ski-runs and the Grand Angle area are the best of the 167 km of magnificent runs all well served by 53 ski-lifts going up from 1500m to 2600m altitude and guaranteed ISO9002.

480000 lucky skiers were able to try the new facilities last season, as for example the natural X Pipes (6 natural gulleys full of moguls and bordered by raised turns to attract the new free style fans). Others were just as pleased to make the most of the warm friendly atmosphere of the “Auberges de Montagne” (mountain restaurants) nestled in the middle of the larch trees.

Pra-Loup 1500, is the charm of chalets surrounded by immaculate snow fields.
Pra Loup 1600, a modern resort built to make your stay easy and agreeable so that you can set off on your skis to discover all the new forms of sliding!

Entertainment, games and shows will all delight your children ... The resort has obtained the special label of “Les P'tits Montagnards" and gives a warm welcome to all youngsters...

Its snow cannons ensure good quality snow conditions and enable you to start skiing right at the beginning of the Winter season.

To help organize your stay the Tourist Office will inform you of vacancies. There is a free shuttle service between Pra Loup 1500 and Pra Loup 1600.
