Slope offering, variety of runs at the ski resort Espace Diamant – Les Saisies/Notre-Dame-de-Bellecombe/Praz sur Arly/Flumet/Crest-Voland
From the gently sloping and extra-wide ski highways on Mont Bisanne, to the fast-paced intermediate runs on Mont Lachat and Mont Reguet, and the steep slopes on Mont Vores, Espace Diamant offers an enormous variety of pistes. Ski trails wind for kilometers through winter forests far from any lifts (Liaison Crest Voland/Les Saisies), there are straight runs between rocks (Vores), and meadow slopes reminiscent of the Black Forest (Paravy). The scenery and the profile of the runs are constantly changing. The focus is on easy (especially in Les Saisies) to intermediate runs. A direct descent from the highest point (Plan des Fours, 2069 m) to the valley station in Flumet Les Seigneurs (1000 m) is not possible.

Most difficult run
- Ebranchets · Length 0.9 km · Elevation difference 300 m
On the north slope of Mont Rond, this ungroomed black slope leads down through the forest. Thanks to the detachable six-seater lift, you'll be back at the top in no time. - Sapinière · Length 0.7 km · Elevation difference 200 m
Reliably mogulled, this forest run at the Brichou chairlift offers a challenging descent.

Exciting intermediate descent at the Lac chairlift through stunning scenery with a straight section for speed records. - Sangliers
Red high-speed run through the forest with a fast lift (Covetan). - Rhododendrons
