Evaluated by Skiresort.info, the world's largest test portal for ski resorts.
The evaluation is done as follows
Slope offering, variety of runs at the ski resort Les Sybelles – Le Corbier/La Toussuire/Les Bottières/St Colomban des Villards/St Sorlin/St Jean d’Arves
The typical slope in Les Sybelles is of medium difficulty, wide, and lies entirely above the tree line. Of course, there are exceptions to this rule, and due to the size of the area, these offer plenty of variety despite their relatively small proportion: the forest runs and leisurely ski trails at St Colomban or Saint Sorlin, the easy slopes in the high-altitude zone, and of course the high-alpine routes below Les Perrons. Challenging runs are also scattered throughout the entire ski area.
