The issue of discounted lift passes is banned under French legislation and subject to sanctions. It is illegal to propose discounted lift passes to permanent or secondary residents because it is against the principle of equality for public service users.
However, Sata Group does propose season passes at discounted prices that increase gradually as the start of the season approaches.

There is no age for going into the mountains.
However, taking a ski lift implies a rapid change in altitude.
Generally speaking, it is not recommended to take a cable car or gondola lift before the age of 3. Rapid ascension can cause pain and even damage to the ears.
Children over 4 years old with no particular problems can take the lifts.
If the lifts and ski slopes are open, it means they are safe to use.
However, it can be more difficult in ski in certain weather conditions (fog, wind, rain, etc.). It is important to adapt to the conditions, for example by slowing down or skiing easier slopes than usual.
Weather is part of the mountain experience. You can still ski in snow, wind and cold temperatures. No credit, postponement or refund will therefore made for lift passes.
Only total closure of all lifts lasting for more than half a day (more than 4 hours) may give rise to compensation for the prejudice suffered by users.
Consult our general terms and conditions of sale for details of compensation: ART 6 line C.
In the event of a storm, please contact the sales desks. Our teams will be able to inform you of the weather forecast and any specific conditions.
