Seizures, one of the pearls that Savoie Mont Blanc has to offer. A cozy village, with 192 km of slopes, child-friendliness is of paramount importance and many other (non-ski) activities are in the right place. This way you can ski from Les Saisies - without having to take the ski bus (we like) - to the surrounding areas. So make meters.

And we know better than anyone that skiing can make you a bit tired and certainly hungry, and Les Saisies has plenty to offer for that too, with restaurants in both the village and on the slopes. One of the favorites for lunch is Les Chalet de Marmottes and for dinner Les Arcades, deliciously French, simple, but oh so tasty. Of course you also have to sleep and that is what we do at the Hotel LeCalgary. Don't expect mega luxury, but do expect a good bed, delicious breakfast and close to the ski lift.

And do you want to completely relax? Then immediately book a yoga session. Because that snow shoes all the way hot en Happening is in the winter sports areas, we already knew a little, but combined with yoga makes this experience even more unique. A tip from us: book a session at Hélèn Durand Yoga and completely relax.
