Founded in 1964 under the name La Pente des Pays d’en haut by Arthur Raymond. At the beginning, there were two slopes and a crossbow-type ski lift for sliding on wild sleds. Today, the sliding masters that continue after 3 generations, Les Glissades offers 61 slopes of all levels, 15,000 lifts per hour, and 80 metre vertical drops, bringing together 3 sections among 13 snow ride areas on the same mountain. Rides for all tastes, to satisfy the most daring thanks to our unique rides: Bobsleigh, Vortex360, Rafting, Tornade and Tubing.
