268 ski resorts are ranked here by driving time from the centre of Saint-Étienne, 89 of them under 3 hours. The closest is Prabouré (59 min by road); the largest within reach, Alpe d'Huez (143 km of pistes, 2 hr 56 by road).
Driving time is computed from the centre of Saint-Étienne on the real road network (OpenStreetMap), excluding traffic and winter conditions, avoiding passes closed in winter; the straight-line distance is given as a rough guide. The table gives all 268 resorts, from the closest to the furthest: Northern Alps (26), Massif Central (9), Jura (4), Southern Alps (1) at the top of the list. Before setting off in winter, check road conditions and tyre requirements on your département’s road information site, linked on each resort page.
Every resort links to its own page: altitude, pistes by level, lift pass read from the official price list, snow report and webcams in season. The small resorts close to a city are often lower-mountain resorts, pleasant for a day out but dependent on snowfall: the “skiing at Christmas” guide shows where the snow is most reliable.
