Puy-Saint-Vincent

Few mountain resorts in the French Alps have a history as closely tied to the development of alpine skiing as Puy-Saint-Vincent. The first lifts opened here in 1974, adding a purpose-built station to a commune of older hamlets above the Vallouise valley. On the southern side of the Écrins massif, the resort is arranged in levels commonly known as 1400, 1600 and 1800, while its ski terrain rises toward high alpine slopes. Larch woodland defines much of the lower mountain setting, and nearby Écrins National Park places the area in a major Alpine mountaineering region. In summer, these slopes and forest roads are used by walkers and cyclists. Find related webcams in the Pays des Écrins area to build a fuller picture of Puy-Saint-Vincent.
