  Just got back from a weeks sking here. It dumped over a foot of snow before I got here so the skiing was on the whole excellent. Tons of off-piste, easily accessable. However, this does mean that it became tracked out extremely fast. On the whole the lift system is good but less accessable than other large resorts, for example, Les Arc. The runs also are perfect for carving and speed but lack any real technical difficulty or length. I am a good skier and I have to say I had a good time staying here for a week (check out the Tonnue bar, it is the best in town). However, without the off-piste I would become bored after a longer length of time. In summary, brilliant for beginners to intermediates, nice town, reasonable links but less exciting than other resorts of a similar size.

  Hi there. A lot was already reported by Enrico. I just wanted to add my point about snowboarding. Actually, good snowboarders will anticipate the "flat parts" but moreover, they will find a lot of freeride playgrounds if they know how to find and ride them : the Sybelles domain is not overcrowded yet, especially if you avoid french school holidays.
  Please ask security agents for conditions.

  La Toussuire is a gentle village in the French Alps. Thanks to many recent build chairlifts there is an extended skiing-area with over 300 km of slopes. Many of them are wide and also non-experienced skiers have many possibilities around La Toussuire. More difficult slopes can be found in the Saint Sorlin d'Arves area. The area is not very recommended for snowboarding because of many flat parts on the slopes. Nice skiing because not many skiers have found Les Sybelles yet. This also keeps prices low and people nice. Recommended for skiers with a few weeks skiing-experience!
