Val d'Isère & Tignes

Val Thorens
The highest ski resort in Europe (2300 m) offers a very well-developed ski system with 29 lifts and 150 km of pistes. Val Thorens' high altitude also makes it a very snow-sure destination.
Les Arcs & La Plagne
Together with Peisey-Vallandry, the three ski resorts form Paradiski. Les Arcs ski system is well-developed with 77 lifts and 200 km of pistes. La Plagne is a modern ski resort offering 225 km of pistes. Since 2003, the ski resorts have been linked by the double-decker cable car, the Vanoise Express.
Flaine
The ski resort offers a wide variety of skiing for all levels. Among its 140 km of pistes is one of the longest in Europe, the Cascade. A blue piste that measures a full 14 km.
Val Thorens
UCPA's highest center is of course located in Europe's highest ski resort, Val Thorens. Located in the middle of the slopes, ski-in ski-out, it's perfectly placed to be first on the lift every morning. Here you will find the largest nightclub in the Alps (amnesia) as well as Folie Douce, with its saxophonist playing live every day (read a lot of champagne + boot dancing on the table)
Val d'Isère
You'll also find a Foulie Douce (the original!) and Cocorico, just a stone's throw from the UCPA Center. If you want a quieter après-ski, you'll find Saloon, Warm up, Dicks T and also La Barraque!
Chamonix
After a day on the snowy slopes of Chamonix, après-ski is a must. Visit the legendary La Folie Douce, known for its high-octane atmosphere and live music, a perfect place to dance away the fatigue of skiing. Also, don't miss Chambre Neuf, a favorite place among Scandinavians!

The purpose is to give ordinary people the opportunity to learn and develop in one or more sports together, in pleasant and unpretentious forms. The organization has about 80 centers in France and the West Indies, 28 of them are located at well-known winter sports resorts in the French Alps.
