The Tour de France often passes through Praz-sur-Arly but has never hosted a stage here. The riders in the women’s race will have the opportunity to appreciate the charms of this family resort, which is part of the Espace Diamant ski domain. In 1950, the village hosted a Parisian school that was France’s first ski school. In January, the Montgolfiades festival brings together dozens of hot-air balloons.
