Praz de Lys Sommand

The family-friendly resort of Praz de Lys Sommand makes the most of its sunny, unspoilt setting in the middle of the Giffre valley, opposite Mont-Blanc . Its ski area offers a variety of challenges for all types of winter sports enthusiasts.

Description

5 chairlifts accessible to autonomous or piloted ski chairs provide access to some twenty kilometers of slopes:
5 blue (9.600 km)
5 red (6.550 km)
4 black (4.520 km)

A carpet is available for dualskis or uniskis at Sommand, but not for tandemskis.
1 green (90 m)

7 lifts authorized on the Praz de Lys side and 2 on the Sommand side for stand-alone dualskis or uniskis. Please bring a ski jumper.
7.3 km of pistes
3 green (1,130 km)
7 blue (4.600 km)
1 red (1,580 km)

All chairlift departure controls are equipped with flip flaps.
If the ski chair passenger is not self-sufficient, put the ski pass in the left sleeve pocket if the jacket has one. This makes it easier to release.

Tandemskis and piloted dualskis board the Pierres rouges chairlift via the left-hand gantry.
Autonomous dualskis and uniskis pass through all gates.

The arrival platforms of the 3 Praz de Lys chairlifts are very high to make it easier for children to disembark, and can be more restrictive. Signal the chairlift driver to reduce speed.

Be aware of the presence of anti-fall bars for children on chairlifts.
Position yourself well in the boarding area, as it may be difficult to move the chair once it has been boarded, depending on the weight of the passenger.

On the Sommand side, the nearest toilets are at the foot of the lift cash desks, which are around 150 m from the snow front, requiring a double transfer. There are no wheelchair-accessible toilets in the ski area.

Ski passes are best purchased at the Mieussy lift ticket office. There is a reserved parking space in the immediate vicinity, with ramp access to the ticket office.
