Promoting know-how is at the heart of our region. Because the Livradois-Forez region cultivates the memory and transmission of these skills, we want to help people discover them, and give them the chance to put them into practice. To do, rather than just watch. The gestures of the farm as well as those of theworkshop. Children (and parents) can paint, draw, print, work with clay, assemble their own knife or make their own sheet of paper. Or try your hand at the art of stained glass…

In Livradois-Forez, you don't always need snow
Snow is not a sine qua non for a good winter vacation in Livradois-Forez. There’s so much to discover, whether you’re into nature, heritage orcrafts. The Livradois mountains are full of trails perfect for a leisurely outing, and it’s not unusual for the Chaîne des Puys to put on a show. If the weather is too cold, there are plenty of châteaux to visit and admire their rich collections. Everywhere, artisans open their doors and share their skills with you.

Livradois-Forez in sliding and adventure mode for your vacations
Far from the crowds of the big Sancy ski areas, Livradois-Forez offers the comfort of family resorts on a human scale. While they are ideal for learning, they also shine for their friendliness. Without neglecting the more “sporty” slopes, the emphasis is on tranquillity, space and simplicity, all set in remarkable landscapes. On the Hautes-Chaumes, you’ll enjoy views of the Puys chain and the Alps. Horizons guaranteed.
Here, as elsewhere, all kinds of activities are possible, depending on your adrenaline needs: cross-country skiing at Col de la Loge (78 km of trails on a Natura 2000 site), downhill skiing at Prabouré, snowkiting, dog sledding or ski harnessing, mountain biking on snow, not forgetting good old-fashioned tobogganing or snowshoeing… Forez is open to all, between snow-covered forests and immaculate plateaus, and offers sensations where immersion in unspoilt nature counts for a lot.
You can follow the snow conditions on the ski resort’s slopes:
