Visitor Reviews of Valfrejus


Bob Paterson from United Kingdom writes:

I was in Valfrejus from 8th to 24th January this year, using Snowyourway, a small but incredibly efficient, friendly and helpful ski company.
Having watched the resort website and snow reports since about October (yes I am keen) I was well aware before arrival that snow was limited, particularly at lower levels.
That said, I found there to be more than enough snow from the mid station (Arrondaz) up. Karl was correct that one of the pistes at the back of the resort no longer appears to function, but it is still accessible as off-piste. Prepared runs are limited and short, with the exception of Jeu, which is strikingly beautiful, although a bit flat.
The village is clean, compact and quiet. The lifts all come back to a central (ish) point at the base, and the lift system is fine.
The speed riders are crazy, but it looks amazing and I would love to give it a try if I could work up the courage.
Valfrejus is not about the km of piste you can bash. It is a small resort, which has not succumbed to the mega infrastructure of some of the larger areas.
There are a plethora of resorts round about, so there is no need to be limited to spending all of your time on a few runs, but there is also a wealth of off-piste to keep you occupied, particularly round the back and in the bowl that contains the Punta Bagna black run.
The locals were generally friendly, particularly if you made the remotest effort to speak French! The scenery is quite stunning, and in a good snow year I think there would be even more off-piste to play on, although it would be advisable to seek out a guide if venturing too far from the resort area.
My best friend from school, who had not been skiing in almost 30 years, accompanied me the first week and had an absolute ball. That, to me, makes all the difference, and says a lot about the place.
I have avoided Europe for years, skiing primarily in Canada and the States (BC and Wyoming): Fernie, Castle, Revelstoke, Whistler, Skismithers, Jackson Hole etc. All steep and fall line skiing with plenty of snow. Although small, Valfrejus affords plenty of opportunity to ski the fall line, chutes, cliffs and the like. You just have to be willing to seek them out and be proficient enough to get down them.
As for comments about piste preparation, well, I didn't really see there were any problems during my stay. I don't expect perfect corduroy (and get a bit bored by it anyway) all the time. The weather was quite warm during most of my stay, and there is not much can be done to provide cover if it aint cold enough to fire up the canons. We did get snow, and it didn't take much to drastically improve the lower pistes.
Sadly the black from mid station to base was closed throughout the fortnight. There is a big drop off over a roller on this, and it was bare over the drop off, and a sheet of ice below, so it was shut for safety, not lack of effort by the resort.
All in all, it was a great wee place, and although limited, is ideal for mixed ability and family groups.
Val Thorens is accessible via Les Orres and Val Cenis isn't far away if you want something bigger and more challenging.
You pays your money.........
