Chalmazel or Chalmazel - Pierre-sur-Haute.[1] is a winter sports resort in the Massif Central located in the commune of Chalmazel-Jeansagnière, in the Loire department, in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. Its alpine ski area stretches from 1,109 to 1,600 meters above sea level on the slopes of Pierre-sur-Haute, the highest point of the Monts du Forez (1,634 meters), between the forest and the wild high moors (les hautes Chaumes).

The first pistes were laid out in the 1930s, and the first lift built in 1953 on the initiative of the local ski club. Today, the site boasts 12 kilometers of downhill ski runs served by 1 detachable bubble chairlift, 7 drag lifts and equipped with 90 snow guns[2]. There's also cross-country skiing on the Haut Forez Nordic ski area at Col de la Loge, and snowkiting on the high altitude bare plateaus. The resort also offers a range of summer activities (downhill karts and scooters, mountain bike trails with acrobatic modules[3], hiking from the resort or from the chairlift arrival point).

Chalmazel mainly attracts daily visitors from the Forez plain and the Roanne and St. Etienne conurbations less than 80 kilometers away, but also, to a lesser extent, from Clermont-Ferrand and Lyon.
