Popular Travel Destinations
Puy St. Vincent is in the beautiful Grand Serre Chevalier area and divided into two altitudes of 1400m and 1600m. Most skiers are well catered for at this popular resort. The good skier will enjoy the black areas and the off piste runs, and for the beginner there is a great ski school and some gentle slopes for the learner. Snowboarders will benefit from the park as well.

The village has some shopping, sports centre and 13 restaurants. Not a great place for a lively nightlife with a smattering of bars and a nightclub. The resort is family orientated and offers better value than some of the nearby resorts.
