Valloire ski information
Set amongst the spectacular scenery of the Maurienne Valley, Valloire represents excellent value for money with a friendly, French atmosphere. Valloire, built around a seventeenth century Baroque style church, is a family orientated resort with an authentic and traditional French village feel. The resort is linked to the smaller, purpose built neighbouring resort of Valmeinier to provide an excellent ski area at the foot of the Galibier Pass.
Skiing and snowboarding in Valloire
Ski Information Beginners
Valloire and its neighbour Valmeinier both have easy nursery slopes close to the resort. As you progress there are plenty of good wide, open slopes on which to master those turns!
Ski Information Intermediates
There are a wide variety of pistes for the intermediate skier to choose from. Try the shaded, west facing slopes on the Crey du Quart or the long red from the Le Gros Crey peak into Valmeinier 1500.
Ski Information Advanced
Setaz offers several black runs and the mogul field down to Valmeinier 1500 is steep and challenging. Also dropping off from the Grand Plateau, there is an excellent powder bowl to keep those who are off-piste hungry entertained.
Ski Information Snowboarding
Snowboarders will love the wide slopes of Valloire and Valmeinier. There is a snowpark with half pipe at the Crey du Quart and plenty of good free-riding to be done on the extensive terrain.
