Saint-Véran

Saint-Véran offers 36 kilometers of ski slopes across different difficulty levels, from gentle beginner runs to challenging red trails at elevations reaching 2830 meters.

The village developed around copper mining activities, leading to the construction of traditional wooden houses called fustes that remain preserved throughout the settlement.

More than thirty sundials decorate the buildings across Saint-Véran, representing the mathematical and astronomical knowledge of mountain communities through generations.

The ski area provides equipment rentals, skiing lessons, and accommodations ranging from traditional chalets to modern hotels with direct access to the slopes.

Located at 2042 meters above sea level, Saint-Véran maintains its position as the highest permanent settlement in Europe with year-round residents.
