General info: 

The charming little ski town of La Norma in the heart of the Savoyard French Alps is located at 1350 metres in altitude, on a vast tree covered plateau which leads to the Vanoise mountain range and further on, the upper valley of the Arc (in the Maurienne region). Dominated by the peak of the Norma Mountain (2917 m), the ski area covers 700 hectares, stretching from 1350 to 2750 metres. The ski area has 65 km of ski runs.

For those less enthusiastic about sport, the resort of La Norma offers a multitude of enjoyable activities. Make the most out of your stay and discover all the charms of the mountain in winter: snowshoeing or dog sledding, baroque churches visits, visit the villages of the Haute Maurienne area, ice climbing or a trip to the Aquazen wellness centre (600m ² with sauna, Jacuzzi, Hammam, body treatments, squash court and a gym) For those who want to really relax and do nothing, the fantastic views over the Vanoise region from the terraces of mountain restaurants (accessible to pedestrians from the chairlift or gondola) are unforgettable!
