Crévacol and Flassin are two winter resorts with distinct facilities, located about 6 kilometers apart along State Route 27.

The Crévacol resort, in the municipality of Saint-Rhémy-en-Bosses, is dedicated to alpine skiing and snowboarding. It spans altitudes ranging from 1,640 to 2,450 meters, with over 800 meters of vertical drop and 20–22 kilometers of groomed runs. It features two three-person chairlifts and a magic carpet for beginners at the base. The slopes face south, ensuring sunlight throughout the day. At an elevation of 2,000 meters, there are panoramic terraces and on-slope dining options (Arp du Jeu). Crévacol does not have slopes for sledding or snow tubing.

The Flassin area, in the municipality of Saint-Oyen (1,350–1,400 m), is designed for families, children, and cross-country skiing. It is home to the Flassin Snow Park, a fenced-in area of 50,000 square meters equipped with two moving walkways and trails reserved for snow tubing, bobsledding, sledding, and snow bikes. Adjacent to the park is the Foyer de Fond, the starting point for an 18-kilometer cross-country ski trail divided into three loops between Étroubles and Saint-Rhémy, featuring heated changing rooms, hot showers, ski waxing services, and equipment rentals.

All services and details for the winter season are outlined in the “Winter on the Snow” section.
