The village
La Toussuire is a purpose-built resort that has grown since the 1930s into a compact village with its shops, restaurants and ski school around a traffic-free centre. The resort is dual season: in summer it is a base for hiking, mountain biking and road cycling, with the Col de la Croix de Fer and Col du Glandon on the doorstep.
90 years of La Toussuire
La Toussuire is celebrating its 90th anniversary, with the celebrations building towards 2027. The resort's story began in 1937, when the Augert brothers built its first ski lift, the Comborcière drag lift – powered by the petrol engine of a Ford lorry and carried on wooden pylons.
After the war came the Les Plans lift in 1947 and, in 1949, a road suitable for cars all the way up to the plateau. Family-run hotels opened through the 1950s and La Toussuire grew into the established family resort it is today, now linked into the 310 km Les Sybelles ski area.
Skiing from La Toussuire
La Toussuire's own slopes face south over the valley and connect by lift to L'Ouillon (2,441 m), the main hub of the Les Sybelles domain, giving access to all 6 linked villages of Les Sybelles and 310 km of pistes between 1,100 m and 2,620 m. The home slopes are wide and gentle, which is why the resort is so popular with families and improving skiers; the longer, steeper runs are a lift ride away above St Sorlin d'Arves and Le Corbier. The new Côte du Bois cable car has improved the link out of the village.
Restaurants, shops and services
La Toussuire has everything you need on the doorstep, for a long weekend or a whole season.
Restaurants and bars
There is a wide choice of 29 restaurants, along with bars – from Savoyard fondue, raclette and tartiflette to pizzas and après-ski.
Shops and everyday services
Supermarkets and food shops stocking Savoyard produce, ski shops for hire and equipment, souvenir shops, a bank and a post office. Conciergerie services in the resort can look after an apartment for its owners, with key handover, cleaning and check-in inventories.
Healthcare
A medical practice in the heart of the resort is open throughout the season and there is an osteopath in La Toussuire. Pharmacies in Les Sybelles are in Le Corbier and St Sorlin d'Arves.
Wellness, pools and leisure
Pools, spa and wellness
There are 2 swimming pools in the village, including the heated, covered Piscine des Soldanelles, plus a leisure centre and wellness and spa facilities offering sauna, hammam, massages and treatments. Le Corbier, just 7 minutes away, has a big outdoor heated pool that is open in both winter and summer.
Cinema and bowling
L'Igloo cinema shows the latest releases with one to three screenings a day, is equipped for 3D films and can add an extra screening on bad-weather days. At Le Cairn there is a 6-lane bowling alley with billiards, darts and pizzas to go with it.
Families and childcare
La Toussuire has long been a family resort. There are gentle, wide home slopes, ski schools for every age and level, a nursery and childcare; across the domain there are 45 blue runs, 20 fun zones and 8 snow gardens (official figures). The traffic-free centre makes it easy to get around on foot and on days off the slopes there is the pool, the cinema and the bowling alley.
Summer in La Toussuire
In summer some of the lifts open to walkers and the village becomes a base for hiking and for road cycling over the Croix de Fer and Glandon passes. There are family activities too: a tree-top adventure park, the Eriscal zip line, mini golf, tubing, a big air bag, canyoning trips and the outdoor heated pool in Le Corbier. In summer a little land train links La Toussuire and Le Corbier.
Short breaks and longer stays
Because the resort has the full range of shops and services – supermarkets, a bank, post office, medical practice, ski schools, nursery and childcare – and evenings covered by 29 restaurants, bars, a cinema and bowling, it works just as well for a long weekend as for a whole school holiday or an extended stay of several weeks. With a winter and a summer season, owners use their apartments across the year.
Who buys here
Buyers are mainly French, British, Dutch and Belgian families looking to purchase a ski apartment or chalet. Prices are markedly lower here than in many of the other resorts of Savoie and Haute-Savoie, which is one of the main attractions. A new-build three-bedroom apartment here costs what a studio does in Val d'Isère or Courchevel.
Rental returns
With occupancy in the resort of La Toussuire at 70% and agency fees of 20%, rental returns here are some of the best found anywhere in the Alps for those looking to rent out their property. Please ask us for more information.
Orelle – 3 Valleys access
The Orelle Express cable car is easily reached from La Toussuire, which makes it simple for second-home owners here to enjoy skiing in the 3 Valleys. From Orelle the lifts rise from around 900 m to 3,200 m at Cime Caron in about 20 minutes to reach the Val Thorens slopes, ideal for early-season skiing in November and late-season skiing in May. To explore the rest of the Maurienne, the Skiogrande card gives reduced-price lift passes for the different Maurienne resorts as well as other ski areas across Savoie.
