With 60km of pistes ranging from 1650m to 3000m, it caters to a variety of skill levels, from beginners to advanced skiers.

The resort is uniquely equipped with a mix of chairlifts, T-Bar lifts and surface lifts, ensuring efficient movement around the slopes. Though the surface lifts might seem less friendly, they contribute to the overall charm of the resort. The fascinating cable car is also a notable feature, offering swift and frequent service, making it a comfortable transport option especially for families with young children.

The off-piste spots are highly recommended for early risers seeking a thrill in the fresh powder snow. The ski area between St Luc and Chandolin is not recommended for beginners due to its complexity. The resort is also known for its impressive "sea of fog" effect, an atmospheric phenomenon that makes skiing here a truly magical experience. However, the slopes may be hard at times due to weather conditions.

Saint Luc Chandolin is more than just a ski resort, with its beautiful trails leading to Lac Noir and Lac Illsee offering a delightful hiking experience. The walk from Chandolin to these lakes, while slightly challenging, rewards hikers with breathtaking views of the entire Valais region.

The resort is also home to excellent dining options with lovely service. The restaurants, located right on the pistes, serve delicious food that complements the overall ski experience. Accommodation is available at the excellent hotel in Chandolin, making it a convenient stay for those wanting to be close to the slopes.

Some guests have reported that the staff can be less accommodating during closing hours, advising beginners to avoid staying too close to closing time. They also expressed a desire for better coordination with the arrival of the Car-Postal bus from Vissoie to avoid waiting times.

In conclusion, Saint Luc Chandolin is a superb, reasonably sized ski resort that offers a unique skiing experience complemented by dramatic views, excellent dining options, and comfortable accommodation. Its charm lies in its blend of modern amenities and natural beauty, sure to leave every visitor with lasting memories.

“I had a pleasant experience at Saint Luc Chandolin. There are several well-maintained chairlifts and a few challenging drag lifts that add to the thrill. The slopes are well-groomed, providing an enjoyable skiing experience. However, the route between St Luc and Chandolin might be a bit challenging for novices. When the snow conditions are ideal, there are plenty of excellent off-piste opportunities for adventurous skiers. My visit was during the weekend, where the wait time was minimal, around 10 minutes. However, I am uncertain whether making a reservation is necessary. Overall, Saint Luc Chandolin provides a delightful skiing experience.”

“I found Saint Luc Chandolin to be easily reachable either on foot or by car. The service was excellent, with clear and comprehensive explanations provided. I was particularly impressed by the quick, no-hassle cleat sales. The journey up and down only took a few minutes, which was very convenient. I also noticed that the buildings were well-maintained and clean. I visited over the weekend, and the wait time was very reasonable, no more than 10 minutes. I found that there was no need for a reservation, making the visit even more hassle-free.”

“I had the pleasure of visiting Saint Luc Chandolin over the weekend. It was impressive how quickly I was able to get in, with no wait time at all. While I can't be certain, I would suggest making a reservation to ensure a smooth experience.”

“I recently had an experience at Saint Luc ​Chandolin that wasn't up to par. Despite the schedule stating that the funicular would arrive every hour at five past the hour, and every 30 minutes on weekends, I found myself waiting for far longer than expected. I arrived at the waiting room at 11:50 a.m. with the intention of catching the 12:05 p.m. funicular. However, the funicular arrived and the driver promptly disappeared, leaving myself and approximately six other people waiting for 35 minutes. Growing impatient, I decided to take matters into my own hands and called the ski lifts to inquire about the delay. I was informed that the driver had decided to take a break for a meal, so we were left waiting. This lack of professionalism severely impacted my perception of the valley and the canton.”
