Peisey/Vallandry

Peisey-Vallandry is a group of small villages linked to Les Arcs and the Paradiski area. Plan-Peisey and Vallandry are still-developing ski stations above the old village of Peisey, which has a bucket-lift up to Plan-Peisey. They market themselves as Peisey-Vallandry, and the cluster of villages hereabouts is known collectively as Peisey-Nancroix. The cable-car to La Plagne leaves from Plan-Peisey, which has a hotel and a few shops, bars and restaurants. It's possible to stay down the hill in the characterful old village of Peisey which has a fine baroque church, a few shops and a couple of bars and restaurants. Vallandry is a few hundred metres away from Plan-Peisey and linked by shuttle-bus. A fast quad takes you into the slopes. There are lots of new chalets and a small pedestrian-only square at the foot of the slopes with a small supermarket and a ski shop.
