The resort offers a superb ski in and ski out for almost all accommodation and convenience; safety and comfort are also in mind with the indoor shopping arcade that extends almost the entire length of the resort. There is also a large outdoor public swimming pool. The resort is completely pedestrianised, with no cars allowed in the resort centre. However, there is ample free car parking at the rear of the resort.
Le Corbier is part of the 4th largest ski area called Les Sybelles. Discover 310km of slopes for all levels, from beginners to experts, a snowpark, walking or snowshoeing paths with a breathtaking panorama.
Did you know? Le Corbier was built in 1969 and the buildings were given the same names as space stations. Cosmos, Baikonour, Soyouz and Ariane recalled an era when space exploration captured everyone's imagination. As a result, it was nicknamed ‘Le Saint-Germain des Neiges’ and was frequented by actors, writers and singers who came to enjoy the pleasures of skiing.
Les Sybelles Information
Six unusual ski resorts untouched by mass tourism in 2003, under the name of Les Sybelles, now make up one of the most recently connected ski areas in France. With its varied ski slopes spread over 393 ha between 1100 and 2620m alt., the Sybelles ski area is one of the large linked ski areas. It is the 4th ski area in France and the 7th in Europe and offers a wide variety of slopes for all levels for technical skiing or easy skiing. Connections between resorts are favored by fast ski lifts accessible to beginners who can also discover by roaming the summits of Sybelles only by the blue runs.
The Sybelles ski area offers exceptional views of the entire Alps from Mont Blanc to the famous Aiguilles d'Arves or the Belledonne chain and the Ecrins. Visible from the slopes accessible to skiers but also to pedestrians by detachable chairlifts, Les Sybelles has 360° panoramas.
Ski greener - always aware and always committed to a more sustainable future, Les Sybelles have entered into a partnership with EDF to source exclusively renewable energy. All energy requirements for the production of artificial snow and the operation of the ski lifts will be covered by the supply of "green" energy coming exclusively from hydraulic dams and certified 100% renewable.
Le Corbier, Saint-Sorlin-d’Arves, Saint-Jean-d’Arves, La Toussuire, Saint-Colomban-des-Villards, Les Bottières: 6 individual resorts linked by the central peak of Ouillon with an altitude of 2,431 metres.
By the start of 2022, almost €35 million will have been invested in Les Sybelles ski area. The goal is to improve inter-valley links and offer ever more freedom, comfort, and speed to skiers, through creating, growing, and securing the slopes, extending the artificial snow network, and building new ski lifts. Three new ski lifts will complete the ski area: - a new fixed-grip chairlift in La Toussuire was ready for winter 2019. - ‘Le Gaston Express’, a detachable chair lift in Le Corbier for winter 2020 and the opening of a cable car in the Saint-Sorlin-d’Arves sector for winter 2021.
Les Sybelles has 1 AOP (recognised local product) - Arvan Valley's Beaufort cheese. It was a Bronze medal winner at the Concours Général Agricole in 2019. A ‘Made in Les Sybelles’ product called The Sybelles Bulles - is a 2015 special vintage AOP sparkling wine, produced in collaboration with Philippe Viallet, one of the best wine producers in Savoie.
