The evaluation is done as follows
Slopes/runs Espace Diamant – Les Saisies/Notre-Dame-de-Bellecombe/Praz sur Arly/Flumet/Crest-Voland
From the gently sloped and extra wide ski highways on Mont Bisanne to the speedy, intermediate slopes on Mont Lachat or Mont Requet, to the steep slopes on Mont Vores - Espaces Diamant offers an enormous variety of slopes. Ski paths, which stretch for kilometers away from the lifts through winter forests (Liaison Crest Voland/Les Saisies), speedy routes between cliffs (Vores), meadow slopes that resemble the Black Forest (Paravy) - the scenery and profile of the slopes changes constantly. The focus is on easy (especially in Les Saisies) to intermediate slopes. A direct run from the highest point (Plan des Fours, 2069 m) to the base station in Flumet Les Seigneurs (1000 m) is not possible.
