This is easily the worst resort we have been to. There are good reasons to go to France but none of them are met here. Quality Slopeside accommodation: no, we had the best in terms of slope access and that was dubious, and the standard of service in the accommodation was abysmal. Good modern infrastructure: no, too many old fashioned fixed chair lifts, only one of those with a magic carpet to speed loading, and the need to use drags. Well laid out runs: not really, the northern section has very few skiers on it and the reason is plain if you try it, there are a lot of narrow runs, which should merit a grade increase. And of course all of the bad things France always has to offer are here as well. Overpriced poor quality mountain eating, and poor customer service in general. Corbier is far better but you may have to get the bus there, as the links do not lend themselves to beginners or low intermediates, especially if the weather is poor.

La Toussuire is ideal for families with children learning to ski, reasonably priced and easily accessible from Lyon. One of the few ski resorts that isn't spoilt by coach loads of 'townies'!

Been going regularly to the Sybelles area for a number of years. We love it. Prices are fair especially off peak. Hope they don't spoil it with over development. Skiing for just about any level though not so much to do if you are a non-skier. La Toussuire this year - looking forward to 11 January.

We stayed in La Toussuire (La Toussuire (Les Sybelles)) one week in January, outside French school holidays. The landscapes are superb and the skiing area is large and varied. The slopes were icy. Ski lifts there are clean and well-maintained. Our residence ‘Le Dahu’, was beautiful and the decoration of the dining-room was typical of the region. The village is lively all day long and at night. It’s very original and the people are nice, even at the hospital! ;-)

I had a brilliant time at this resort (La Toussuire) and am so glad we discovered it last year. I stayed at a new appartment block near the Soleil ski lift called Les Balcon Des Aguilles - it's a fantastic place built in traditional alpine chalet style with a pool and sauna that allowed a view of the mountains as you relaxed after a day's skiing! It is also 10 mins walk out of the main town in the area where they have developed more traditional chalet like buildings and you can ski right back to the door from the top of the mountain. The nearby restaurant L'Alpage is fantastic and there was a supermarket really close. All round highly recommended. For a good skier one would need the Sybelles area pass as it offers much more variety. La Toussuire resort links are very new and efficient but most importantly there are virtually no queues as the whole area seems to have been undiscovered by anyone but the French! Because of this it seems the prices for everything from the ski pass to supermarkets or mountain restaurants are really good compared to other resorts that I have been to. The main town is not very pretty as it is a bit "1960's concrete block" (with neighbouring Le Corbier having highrise blocks and a similar 1960's feel) but the other villages like Saint Sorlin are very pretty. If you are looking for advanced challenges La Toussuire is not for you but if you want a quiet area which is superb for families/good intermediate skiing then you cannot go wrong.

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!
