Ski Resort:

Valmorel
Valmorel is a charming ski resort in the French Alps, known for its traditional wood-and-stone chalet architecture. The resort village sits at 1460m, with skiing up to 2550m, offering good snow reliability supported by 389 snow cannons.

It is part of the 165 km Le Grand Domaine ski area, offering 103 trails, 47 lifts, and extensive beginner-friendly terrain, with 70% of runs classified as green or blue.

Thanks to its unique location near Le Col de la Madeleine and its protection by the Lauzières Massif, Valmorel enjoys exceptional snowfall throughout the winter season, around 15% more than other resorts at the same altitude. Its north-facing slopes also help preserve excellent snow conditions for longer periods.

The Grand Domaine
Between forests, gentle alpine meadow slopes, and steeper slopes at the summits, the Grand Domaine gives you the opportunity to enjoy a varied playground accessible to all levels of skiers. Young and old can easily cross the Col de la Madeleine on skis with a simple “blue slope”.

A true paradise for lovers of ski touring and off-piste, with a huge variety of breathtaking landscapes between pine trees and high mountains.

It is less than 1 hour away by car from Les Trois Vallées, so you could extend your ski trip to the biggest ski area in the world.
