The evaluation is done as follows
Slope offering, variety of runs at the ski resort Les Sybelles – Le Corbier/La Toussuire/Les Bottières/St Colomban des Villards/St Sorlin/St Jean d’Arves
The typical slope in Les Sybelles is intermediate, wide and is located completely above the treeline. Of course, there are exceptions to the rule and due to the size of the ski resort, the exceptions still provide plenty of variety: the forest slopes and relaxing ski paths near St. Colomban or Saint Sorlin, the easy slopes in the higher zones and the High Alpine routes beneath Les Perrons. There are also difficult slopes distributed throughout the entire ski resort.
