About Puy-Saint-Vincent
Puy-Saint-Vincent looks straight across the Vallouise valley at the Écrins massif, and its north orientation is what keeps its snow: it holds condition well for a southern Alps resort.
It is small and compact, with the modern base at 1,600 m and 1,800 m above the old village, and it is one of the quietest resorts of its size in France.

Does Puy-Saint-Vincent hold its snow well?
Well, for a southern Alps resort. It faces north across the Vallouise valley towards the Écrins, which protects the snow from the sun, and the learning slopes at the modern base at 1,600 and 1,800 m stay in condition. It is also one of the quietest resorts of its size in France.
