Saint-Jean-d'Arves

Saint-Jean-d'Arves straddles the upper Arvan valley in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, a setting that connects its scattered hamlets with alpine pastures and the mountain routes of the Maurienne. The serrated Aiguilles d’Arves dominate this part of the French Alps, while the Col de la Croix de Fer lies close to the valley’s head. In winter, the resort is part of Les Sybelles, a ski area linked by lifts and pistes to neighbouring Maurienne communities. Summer brings walkers and cyclists to the high roads, and pastoral farming still lends the area a distinct Savoyard identity.
