Whilst skiing has replaced farming as the principal income generator in St Sorlin, this only provides a living for four months of the year. Summer tourism is also important to the village, with July and August  the main working months.

With its beautiful alpine setting the village is an ideal centre for summer mountain activities. These can range from the most extreme of adventurous recreational pursuits to the most peaceful. The clean fresh air provides an added value for everyone. For the artistic the dramatic scenery and lighting help trigger that creative flow.

 

 
 
Besides self participation pursuits there are exciting spectator events that either take place in St Sorlin or close by. The Trans-Maurienne mountain bike race is an annual four day event, usually each August and the Dauphinée and Tour de France cycle races are held in June and July respectively.
