Visitor Reviews of Puy St Vincent
Andy Raynor from United Kingdom writes:
Having skied for a number years in France (mainly La Plagne) we wanted to try another resort, so we booked a family ski holiday in PSV (Puy St Vincent) in early April '09. We are a family of 5 with children aged 11-17 who have skied from an early age. We stayed at 1800 and found the fairly new chalet style accommodation good. It was a nice walk to the main resort at 1600 (but a bit of a trek back with food shopping). We found PSV (Puy St Vincent) a quiet resort although 1600 has a couple of good family friendly bar/restaurants. Skiing in early April means that there were spring snow conditions - very soft from lunchtime onwards. Having skied for 25 years I would recommend the resort for a first or second time ski holiday, or for groups of mixed ability and whilst there are some good scenic runs through the trees and a couple of challenging black runs, we all found that we had comfortably skied the whole resort within 2 days. It lacked the quality and variety of runs available in other larger resorts.
