Praz-sur-Arly: Crêt du Midi
Crêt du Midi sits on the slopes above the Val d’Arly in the French Alps, where alpine pasture and conifer woodland meet the ski terrain of Praz-sur-Arly. This ridge belongs to Espace Diamant, the linked ski area shared by Praz-sur-Arly, Flumet, Notre-Dame-de-Bellecombe, Crest-Voland Cohennoz, Les Saisies and Hauteluce. Lifts and pistes are laid across open mountain ground rather than concentrated around a single high-altitude station. Below, Praz-sur-Arly retains the compact scale of a Savoyard village, while the valley’s working pastures reflect the long pastoral tradition of this corner of historic Savoy. The Val d’Arly lies between the Aravis range and the Beaufortain, creating a distinctive pattern of rounded ridges, forested slopes and farm clearings.

Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes is widely known in France for the French Alps, the major mountain chain along its eastern edge. This vast administrative region also extends west across the Massif Central and follows the Rhône valley, bringing together volcanic uplands, river corridors and major cities. Lyon, the regional capital, stands between the Rhône and Saône, and its historic centre is inscribed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List. Near these coordinates, northern Ardèche lies close to the wooded hills of the Pilat area, where the Rhône corridor forms a transition between upland country and valley settlements. Alpine cheeses and Rhône valley wines reflect the region’s varied terrain. Browse additional webcams from the surrounding area to extend your view of Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes.

The Atlantic and Mediterranean coastlines, together with the Alps, Pyrenees and broad river basins, define much of France — they support maritime trade, farming, wine regions and travel throughout the year. The Seine runs through Paris, where the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre are among Europe’s most recognised landmarks. The Loire Valley is known for Renaissance châteaux, while Mont-Saint-Michel rises from a tidal bay in Normandy. Regional food traditions are equally distinctive, from Breton seafood to Provençal cooking, with bread, cheese and wine central to everyday life. France’s global cultural influence is evident in its language, literature, fashion and cinema.
