Ski Holidays Longefoy

Longefoy is a Savoyard village with red-tiled roofs, with the La Superga chapel overlooking the village from its hill. There you will find gîtes, a hotel-bar-restaurant and a café-grocery-restaurant. When renting in Longefoy, you ski at Plagne Montalbert, a few kilometres away, at around 1,350 metres of altitude.

The hamlet is peaceful, with a bread oven that is sometimes lit and crinchin, a tasty local aniseed brioche.

With children, we recommend planning your days on the Montalbert side: the ESF Montalbert gives lessons there, the Club Piou-Piou welcomes the youngest and the Zone Débutants Gentil is used for first turns. Good skiers go up to the La Plagne ski area by the Montalbert gondola. Without skis, the Chemin du Patrimoine and the Le Bois snowshoe trail link Montalbert to Longefoy.

Advice from the Mountain Collection team, updated in October 2026.

From Longefoy, you ski at Plagne Montalbert. The Montalbert gondola goes up from the bottom of the resort to the upper part of the ski area.

For your first turns, we recommend the Zone Débutants Gentil in Plagne Montalbert, reached by drag lift and designed for beginners of all ages. Next comes the Montalbert green run, right next to the village of Plagne Montalbert: through the woods, very gentle.

Good skiers have the whole La Plagne ski area ahead of them: 225 km of runs between 1,250 and 3,250 metres, including 33 red and 16 black runs.

From Montalbert, lifts and shuttles lead to Plagne Centre and Plagne Bellecôte. The Vanoise Express then links La Plagne to Les Arcs and Peisey-Vallandry, in the large Paradiski ski area.

Without skis, you can discover Longefoy on foot or on snowshoes from Plagne Montalbert, with views of the Versant du Soleil along the paths.

We first recommend the Chemin du Patrimoine to get to know the village: about 4 km and 2 hours' walk between Montalbert and Longefoy, a village of about 300 inhabitants, with the La Superga chapel, the mill and the bread oven to see along the way. It is also suitable for children.

The Le Bois snowshoe trail links the resort to Longefoy: easy, partly groomed, 4 km and 150 m of positive elevation gain, for about 2 hours. The Moment hors du temps loop, starting from La Plagne-Montalbert, passes through Longefoy over 4.4 km in 1 h 45.

By train, we recommend Aime-la-Plagne station, from where buses and shuttles reach Montalbert and Longefoy. On weekdays, a free shuttle leaves the station for Plagne Montalbert, with two departures a day. Moûtiers-Salin-Brides-les-Bains station also serves La Plagne.

By car, you reach Longefoy via the Aime valley. In winter, winter tyres or chains are compulsory from 1 November to 31 March.

From Lyon, the LYS’Express shuttle serves the area. From Geneva, Alpskibus serves Aime station, then you continue by shuttle or bus to Plagne Montalbert and Longefoy.

The free Plagne Montalbert shuttles run in both summer and winter and stop in several villages.
