Only 10 km from the motorway exit, discover Saint-Colomban-des-Villards, nestled at the foot of the Glandon pass.

Ideally located winter Saint-Colomban-des-Villards is the first gateway to the Sybelles, one of the largest French ski areas with 310 km of pistes. Offering itself an area of ​​45 km with 22 tracks, the station is also rich in virgin areas for the practice of ski touring and snowshoeing.

In summer, its proximity to the Glandon pass and the pass of the Iron Cross remains privileged and becomes a must for many cyclists in search of sensations and sporting challenges. Hiking are also popular for its landscapes, flora and wildlife, accessible and adapted to all levels.
