Alpine ski area — Le Pays de la Meije

The Villar d’Arene Nordic ski area (also known as the Pays de la Meije domain) extends at the foot of the village, along the Romanche river, between open high pastures and scattered copses. It offers around ten kilometres of classic and skating trails, with loops of progressive difficulty. The altitude (1,650 m) guarantees good snow cover throughout the winter, often until March. The main route follows the river in a grandiose setting facing the summits of the Meije massif. A groomed pedestrian route, a snowshoe route and a fun initiation zone are also available. The tranquillity of the site is a major asset — you often ski alone or with just a few others in complete silence. Access is simple from the village, with a car park near the trail departure.
