Les Marecottes

Valais, Switzerland · 14.3 km of runs, 3 lifts, top 2195 m

From the village of Les Marécottes near Salvan, a gondola climbs to the hamlet of La Creusaz, with a sweeping panorama of the Mont-Blanc massif and the Rhône plain. Mostly easy slopes sit beneath a dramatic cirque of near-vertical peaks, and the village zoo is a bonus for families.
