VALMEINIER 1800 - Information
Valmeinier is set amongst the spectacular scenery of the Maurienne Valley. Linked with the resort of Valloire it gives access to an excellent ski area with varied terrain. This old attractive village has a purpose built resort centre which manages to keep an authentic French mountain village feel about it. It is extremely family friendly and is a cheaper alternative to larger mainstream resorts.Valmeinier and neighbouring Valloire have a wide variety of slopes for both the beginner and the intermediate to choose from. From nursery slopes at resort level, wide open and easy turning blues on the Gros Grey, to tree lined slopes on La Setaz. Experts may have to look a little harder for challenges although Crey du Quart in the Valmeinier valley has some good off-piste to be found.
