The Espace Diamant was assembled in 2005 from five sectors on either side of the Col des Saisies: Praz-sur-Arly, Flumet, Notre-Dame-de-Bellecombe and Crest-Voland in the Arly valley, with Les Saisies and Hauteluce over the pass in the Beaufortain. The altitudes are modest and the runs alternate between spruce forest and wide alpine meadow. Les Saisies hosted the cross-country events of the 1992 Albertville Olympics, and the trails around the village date from then. Nearly all the base stations are on the ski-bus network, so the area can be crossed without relying on the lift links.

What visitors say about the resort

Espace Diamant is praised for its value and lack of crowds: nearly 200 km of pistes at prices half those in Tarentaise, with queues rare even during school holidays. Visitors highlight the wide, gentle slopes and views of Mont Blanc.

Criticism focuses on the altitude: the ski area lies between 1000 and 2000 m, and lower runs can become slushy by lunchtime in spring. There are also very few difficult runs. Visitors also complain that the five villages are spread out, making the resort inconvenient without a car.
