Pra Loup
High altitude resort

Resort description

Founded in 1961 as a purpose built resort, Pra Loup is considered one of the best resorts in the Southern Alps. The winter sunshine in the resort is above the average of the other Alps resorts, with approximately 300 days of sun a year creating a warm and friendly atmosphere.
The resort boasts miles of skiing but without the crowds of other larger resorts. Thanks to the skiing domain Espace Lumière (connection to Val d'Allos), the resort offers a change of scene, tranquillity and beauty along with some fantastic thrills.


The Skiing
The skiing domain Espace Lumière is one of the largest skiing areas in the Southern Alps, providing 170km of piste through a forest of larches. It is great for all types of skiing; downhill, cross country and snowboarding, providing enjoyment for experienced and occasional skiers who will delight in the opportunities Pra-Loup provides.
New for 09-10: The new Molanès Cable Car replaces the old chair lift and goes to the Clos du Serre at 1820m. You can then ski down to Pra Loup 1600 or use other lifts.
Après Ski
A rather quiet après ski, the resort offers nightclubs and a range of restaurants from traditional mountain fare to pizzas, crepes and burgers.
Amenities
The resort offers a range of sports shops, some small supermarkets and a children's day-centre, along with other amenities such as bakeries, newsagents and pharmacies.
Most of shops are concentrated in an outside shopping arcade.
A free shuttle also regularly connects Pra-Loup 1500 and Pra-Loup 1600.
Activities
As well as the vast ski area, visitors can enjoy a snow playground, tobogganing, snow shoeing, snow mobiling, ice skating and many other exciting winter activities.
