Nordic skiing Enjoy Nordic skiing Savoie Grand Revard

Fancy wide open spaces and the silence of the snow? The Savoie Grand Revard Nordic ski area offers 150 km of trails for Nordic skiing, also known as cross-country skiing. In the heart of the Bauges Massif, set off to explore a unique region where sport, nature and a warm, friendly atmosphere come together. The adventure begins here!

An exceptional Nordic ski resort

Just 30 minutes from Chambéry, the Savoie Grand Revard plateau invites you to experience the joys of cross-country skiing. With its groomed trails for skating and classic-style skiing, its panoramic views and its majestic forest, the ski area is recognised as one of the most beautiful in Europe. Three access points – La Féclaz, Le Revard and Saint-François-de-Sales – make it easy to get there and allow you to enjoy a variety of experiences.

Before waxing your skis, download the cross-country trail map to find the loops suited to your ability.

Opening the pistes

Open from 22 November 2025 until 6 April 2026, subject to sufficient snow cover.

From 30 March, partial but daily grooming between Féclaz and Revard Crolles, with a flat rate of €8.00 until Monday 6 April inclusive.

Use of the slopes is strictly prohibited after 5.00 pm (slope grooming takes place at night: there is a risk of accidents involving snow groomers and damage to the slopes following grooming).

Checkthe live piste openings before you set off to make the most of the best conditions.

“A lovely cross-country skiing resort, well maintained and doing its bit to tackle climate change. The forest remains a bit like a fridge, where you’re sometimes surprised by the quality of the snow when there’s none left elsewhere at the same altitude. And well done to the teams for their hard work!”

Pro tip Getting the right kit for cross-country skiing

The 3-layer rule 

To get the most out of cross-country skiing, follow the 3-layer system. It keeps you warm, dry and protected from the wind and snow, whilst wicking away sweat caused by physical exertion.

  • Layer 1: breathable
    Worn directly against the skin, this layer wicks away moisture. Choose a close-fitting, technical base layer that dries quickly.
  • Layer 2: insulating
    Thislayerretains heat and regulates your body temperature. Opt for a thin fleece or a breathable brushed T-shirt.
  • Layer 3: protective
    This layer blocks the wind and protects against the elements. Opt for a lightweight, water-repellent and breathable jacket (not completely waterproof, to ensure it remains effective).

Complete your outfit with thin gloves, a lightweight hat and sunglasses for comfort.

And of course, take some water with you. A water bottle belt or a hydration belt is ideal.
