So what's it like?
Wide open runs and some wonderful views
Valloire is a traditional French village offering some great skiing with wonderful scenery. The resort is built around a 17th Century Baroque-style church and is family orientated with a warm and friendly atmosphere. Valloire ski resort is linked to the smaller, purpose built, neighbouring resort of Valmeinier to provide an excellent ski area with 150km of piste, particularly well suited to beginners and intermediates.
Ski information
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.

Bar Centrale is lively and popular. Dance the night away at the L'Odysée nightclub or the Village Discothèque.
