Le Grand Sancy, Alpine ski area in Massif du Sancy, France
Located in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, Le Grand Sancy offers 84 kilometers of ski runs across different altitude levels, from 1050 to 1835 meters.
The ski area commenced operations in 1961 with the inauguration of Super-Besse station, including the Perdrix cable car and several ski lifts.
The winter sports complex connects the stations of Super-Besse and Mont-Dore, creating a substantial network of slopes that shapes regional winter activities.
The infrastructure includes 35 mechanical lifts, with one cable car, nine chairlifts, 22 ski lifts, and three moving walkways, transporting 38,510 people per hour.
The specific climate of the isolated Massif du Sancy, affected by oceanic disturbances, leads to frequent frost and strong winds throughout the winter season.
