Want to ride on generous snow in the heart of the Maurienne? Renting a snowboard in Les Karellis is the ideal way to enjoy a pleasant, uncrowded resort surrounded by larch forests and sweeping views of the Savoyard peaks. A friendly resort perched at an altitude of 1,600 m, Les Karellis offers a variety of slopes, perfect for beginners and advanced skiers alike, with playful slopes and more challenging areas when the snow is right.

As for the weather, aim for the first runs as soon as the slopes open: the snow is colder and grips better. After a fall, the undergrowth offers reassuring visibility on foggy days. In spring, wait until late morning to take advantage of snow that peels off gently on sunny slopes, then return to shady areas in the afternoon. The ridges can be windy in the Maurienne: adapt your layers and choose a goggle with a screen adapted to the changing light.
