Le Corbier for beginners

Beginners rating -
71
Perfect
Beginners are in luck here with two designated areas marked on the piste map where instructors can help them make their first turns. Gentle greens near the base of the mountain are perfect for practice. As confidence builds, the lifts are ready to whisk new skiers up to try out the resort's broad, inviting blue runs.

For intermediates, Le Corbier is a bonafide playground with 95 blues and reds across the Sybelles ski area. A good starting point is the Racourts blue run accessed by the Sybelles Express chairlift. It winds back to town, but there are also options to cut across the mountain towards La Toussuire for more exploration.

Le Corbier for advanced

Advanced skiers rating -
Fun
Perfect
Craving a challenge? The 1.5km J.N Augert black run offers the hardest terrain in the area and bears the name of a World Cup champion. For those itching for an even longer adrenaline rush, the Grand Truc peak has a thigh-burning red that descends all the way to Les Bottieres.

Le Corbier for snowboarders

Snowboarders rating -
Fun
Perfect
Snowboarders will find their slice of paradise with a plethora of reds and blues for carving. The 1.5km boardercross circuit on Ouillon peak is a must-try, complete with 14 bends and whoops. Plus, the nearby snow park offers rails, kickers, and boxes against the stunning backdrop of the Aiguille d'Arves massif.

Le Corbier for off-pistes

Off-pistes rating -
Fun
Perfect
Le Corbier offers a freeriding experience that is both diverse and exhilarating. The resort is known for its vast off-piste terrain, including the challenging yet rewarding Combe de Bellard and the high-altitude powder fields of Grand Truc. The resort's high elevation ensures consistent snow quality, making it a haven for those who love to carve their own path through fresh powder.

Le Corbier for families

Families rating -
Fun
Perfect
Le Corbier rolls out the white carpet for families. With 310km of runs in France's fourth-largest linked ski area, kids can ski a new run almost every day. The pedestrianized center makes it easy to roam around safely, and the covered shopping arcade means you can pop from shop to shop without braving the cold. Add in nursery slopes for beginners, fun parks, and boardercross routes, and you've got a kiddo-friendly paradise. Plus, the viewpoints are so good, you might even spot Mont Blanc on a clear day.

Le Corbier apres-ski

Apres-ski rating -
Perfect
Poor
While Le Corbier focuses more on the skiing than the partying, it still offers some solid après-ski options. Igloo-glou sets the mood for winding down post-ski with board games, tapas, and a happy hour three times a week. Le Yéti is the spot for slopeside sipping and people-watching, right on the snowfront. If dancing's your thing, Le Purple Discothèque keeps the vibe going later into the night with DJs and live music.
