SIXT | 800 - 1600 m                                   Le Grand Massif
The term "ski resort" seems inappropriate here, because, in this case, it would be an understatement. Sixt is, above all else, a genuine old-fashioned village nestled in a preserved natural setting. It would be hard to find a more tranquil way of life. Pistes accessible from the village occasionally have inadequate snow cover, but they are perfect for beginning skiers. Access to the linked Grand Massif domain (265 km of pistes) via Samoëns is provided by a free shuttle service (6 km). Not to be missed: a visit, on snowshoes or cross-country skis, to the fabulous Fer à Cheval bowl-one of the jewels of the French Alps. Sixt ski resort special negotiated prices
