VALMOREL - Information

Valmorel is a chocolate box village, offering great skiing in 2 main linked resorts, the other being St Francois de Longchamp. The efficient lift system provides access to wide range of skiing. Beginners have dedicated areas, whilst intermediates and experts can enjoy runs such as the Gollet or the Riondet. The town’s main street offers all you need for a good night with a good choice of restaurant and bars. A great “family friendly” resort.The central lift out of the village is the Altispace to the top of the main runs heading back to the village. Most skiing is over at Col de la Madeleine where the runs spread out over a number of minor valleys. The Mottet area, served by the Pierrafort gondola, has the highest skiing in resort. Many lower runs are south-facing and suffer in warm weather. The efficient lift system provides access to a wide range of skiing – both above and below the tree line. There are separate beginner ski and boarding areas close to the centre which need only a Valmorel ski pass. Those whose skiing skills have already developed will buy the whole area pass and jump aboard the Altispace chairlift from the village ready to tackle the vast choice of skiing. Off-piste enthusiasts will look for a powder day to test their nerve on the choice of couloirs and chutes that are to be found.
