Albiez Piste Map and Overview
Albiez-Montrond is a charming, family-friendly ski and snowboard destination in the French Alps that feels like a true Alpine village escape. With 35 km (22 mi) of well-groomed downhill pistes weaving through sunny slopes between the villages of Le Chef-lieu and Le Mollard, it’s perfect for beginners and intermediate riders who want relaxed, scenic skiing without the crowds you find at larger resorts. The mountain’s compact layout means lifts and trails are close to town, giving you more time on snow and less time in transit — and with a snowpark and even opportunities for night skiing and Nordic tracks, there’s plenty of variety packed into its slopes.
Despite its smaller size at first glance, Albiez-Montrond also serves as a gateway to the larger Les Sybelles ski area when you pick up the appropriate ski pass, linking you to over 240 km (149 mi) of further skiable terrain across neighbouring resorts like La Toussuire and Le Corbier, so you can easily expand your adventure without changing base. The combination of authentic village atmosphere, friendly locals, dependable snow cover up to around 2,100 m, and varied terrain makes it an ideal choice for families, intermediate skiers, and snowboarders seeking a relaxed Alpine experience with access to more expansive skiing nearby.

Ski Season Length and Dates
The ski season in the Albiez‑Montrond area typically runs from mid‑December through early April, with the linked Les Sybelles ski area open roughly mid- December to mid-April. This gives you plenty of winter weeks for reliable snow, festive holiday skiing and spring cruising on groomed runs across the linked domain.
Is it good for beginners?
Yes! The Albiez area and the broader Les Sybelles ski area both cater well to beginners. There are gentle green and easy blue runs right by the snow front, plus dedicated learning zones with conveyor lifts and magic carpets that make first turns much less intimidating. Ski schools (like ESF and others) operate here too, so total novices can take lessons and get confident on snow in a supportive environment.
What’s Included in the Ski Pass?
The main Sybelles® Pass gives you unlimited access to the full Les Sybelles ski area for the number of days you choose, letting you explore all 136 slopes and connected lifts across the sector.
There are also cheaper or more limited passes tailored to specific needs:
- Snow Front / Beginner passes give access only to the dedicated beginner areas in selected resorts — perfect for learning or confident beginners who don’t need the whole mountain.
- Evolution passes give access to a single sector (e.g., La Toussuire or Le Corbier) for a shorter period, cheaper than the full domain.
- So you don’t have to buy the full ski area pass if you want just local or beginner‑focused skiing — there are options to suit smaller budgets and limited abilities.
