No need to dream of a White Christmas… we got one in Praz sur Arly for 2024/25!
Great to see a good dump of snow before the sun and blue skies are due to arrive on the Christmas Day. Hopefully the start of an amazing 24/25 season
What a difference a week makes
The last week in November 2021 brought the foundations of this season’s snow
Praz to get it’s own lake!
Praz-sur-Arly is to join the French-mountain-village-with-a-lake club, with plans to complete the build by late 2022 and open for swimming in Summer 2023.
From the photo above it appears to be located on the other side of the river to the Les Belles games area, with a footbridge to connect it.
Work started clearing the land in Nov 2021 (photos here).
All the other amazing lakes in the area can be found here.

Best Ski Hire in Praz sur Arly
So, we have tried the rest and always return to the best: Emonet Sports. It changed hands last year from some lovely people to some equally lovely people and so we can thoroughly recommend you pick up your ski and snowboarding equipment here. It really is the best quality and the best service.
Jean-Charles says he can also deliver equipment to the chalet, if you don’t have suitable transport.
You can book online here – it’s the same discounted prices as Ski Set (maybe a bit cheaper) but all the money goes to the guys running the store. If you forgot to book online ahead of time – don’t worry, grab a flyer from the cabinet drawer next to the sofa in the apartment to get 25% off in store. Or print off this:
