Want to ski between larch trees with a view of the Champsaur? Renting a snowboard in Saint Leger Les Melezes is the ideal way to enjoy a wooded, friendly and accessible area. The village resort of Saint-Léger-les-Mélèzes, nestled at around 1,260 m and peaking at almost 2,000 m, offers sheltered slopes, perfect for discovering as well as progressing in an authentic alpine atmosphere.

As for the weather, winter alternates between regular snow cover and the beautiful sunny spells typical of the Hautes-Alpes. Cold mornings keep the snow firm and fast, ideal for clean carving. After a snowfall, leave early: visibility is often better in the forest. At the height of the season, opt for shady slopes to keep the snow light; in March, aim for late mornings to enjoy soft, playful snow.
