Visitor Reviews of St-Luc
Graham from United Kingdom writes:
Just back from a 5 day trip to St Luc. Fantastic traditional village resort with good range of Blue + Red runs mostly in open mountain but a few through trees. Very quiet so you can ski your socks off and enjoy perfectly groomed piste and loads of off-piste powder. Mostly T-Bars and Pomas with a couple of chairlifts in the adjoining village of Chandolin. Limited apres-ski but don't miss the "Tipi" Bar at the bottom of the home-run back to St Luc - fantastic red-indian tent + wood burning fire. Staff on the hill are very friendly and helpful, though not much English spoken - which was fine. Transport from Geneva airport straight forward by train to Sierre and poste bus.
