Le Pre de Villaroger (altitude 1200 metres) is the password to another world - away from the razamataz of modern resorts. We are located in a village so small, unspoilt and rustic that the official Les Arcs tourist information does not even publish a mention or a photo of it.

Yet we are located next to the ski lift, so you can eat your breakfast looking out of the window so you know that the lift has started before you leave the table (that's right - you don't need to leave early just to avoid the queu, the skiing population is around about 40 - so it's like your own private facility).

The Longest Black run in the world, ending at the back door of our chalet!!

The run length is about 16km but the real measure is the vertical descent which is a lung shattering, leg smashing 2 kilometers.

For the more sedate skiiers there is a brand new blue piste which makes the whole Villaroger sector much more accessible to mere mortals.

Le Pre de Villaroger was connected to the outside world in the early 70's when the ski lift was installed. The original character of Savoie in 1900 is still present in the village. During the summer, the local farmer still herds his half dozen cows through the streets.
