Chalet to rent facing the glaciers

In winter, snow tyres or chains are strongly recommended, even though the road to Planay-Dessus is cleared daily. The hamlet is at 1,600 m altitude!

Easy access on a dry road — but remember, a dry road on the way up does not guarantee a dry road on the way down!

Tip: leave one or two cars at the free car park in Sainte-Foy village (1,100 m) and only drive well-equipped vehicles on the last 6 km to Planay-Dessus. The main road to Sainte-Foy Chef-Lieu (900 m) is rarely snowy. In winter, snow equipment is compulsory by law. Tyre-chain fitting area in front of the Rassel carpentry workshop at 900 m.

Ski out: climb gently (+15 m, ~8 min) then glide down the snowshoe trail past the old mills to the Bonconseil chapel at the Yellowstone hotel.

Ski back: from the bottom of the Marquises chairlift, follow the signed path. You can ski all the way back to the chalet without poling. 2-star level recommended, especially when icy.

On foot: same path — 15 min going up, 20 min coming back (+60 m elevation).

Tip: book ski lessons in the morning so you can ski back before the lifts close.
