Ski vacations Val d’Allos/Pra Loup – winter fun in the sun!

Val d'Allos (Pra Loup)

Val d’Allos – La Foux is located at an altitude of 1,800 m in the Département Alpes de Haute Provence in south-eastern France. Situated in the heart of the national park Mercantour, Val d'Allos offers everything you need for a wonderful winter holiday in the snow. Due to its exquisite location on the southern hillside, the ski area "Espace Lumière" benefits from many hours of sun, which makes it even more attractive for visitors. Wooden architecture and a small church help create an idyllic atmosphere.

The resort is highly suitable for families. This is also how Val d'Allos was accredited the "Famille Plus" award, which requires at least a family-friendly infrastructure, professional child-care facilities and an entertainment or activity programme for all ages. In addition to La Foux, which is connected to and shares its ski area with Pra Loup, Val d'Allos also comprises Val d'Allos-le Seignus with its own little ski area, and the original Val d'Allos-Village.

Espace Lumière

The ski region "Espace Lumière" is located in the sunny south-eastern of France, right at the end of the Vallée du Haut-Verdon and at an altitude of 1,500 - 2,500 m. During the past few years the region has established itself as one of the main parts of the French ski circus. The pistes can be explored from the resorts Val d'allo-La Foux and Pra Loup, located directly at and in the ski area. Diverse, mainly intermediate pistes offer fun and action for all ages. The area surrounding Val d'Allos was even accredited for its family-friendliness. Also freestylers will not be bored with the snow park free ride area "Le Rider Space". Next to three different snow parks boarder cross routes ensure action and leisure feelings.
