La Toussuire is a Maurienne ski resort at 1,680 m that forms part of Les Sybelles, a linked area of 310 km of pistes. Many homes have a pool or a sauna. The access road is a long climb from the valley, and there is no direct public transport from Chambéry Airport.
La Toussuire is the resort village of the commune of Fontcouverte-la-Toussuire, reached by a climb of about 18 km and a gain of over 1,000 m from Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne. The village's own slopes run from 1,680 m to 2,431 m, with about 55 km of runs that are mostly beginner to intermediate: four beginner, eleven easy, seventeen intermediate and one difficult. It is one of six resorts in Les Sybelles, which has 68 lifts and slopes between 1,100 m and 2,620 m. The homes sit close together in the resort, and are mostly small to mid-sized, with some for large groups. A good share have a pool or a sauna. In summer the focus shifts to hiking.

Chambéry Airport is about 60 miles away, an hour or so by road. There is no direct public transport; a bus and train reach Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne, then a taxi covers the climb. A car is the practical choice.
Winter is the main season, with skiing in the village and across the wider Les Sybelles area. In summer the resort offers many hiking options instead of skiing, and the road up from Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne is the same long climb. Check which lifts and services run outside winter.
