Visitor Reviews of Valmeinier


Helen from UNITED KINGDOM writes:

We visited Valmeinier 1800 in mid March and the snow was fantastic. It snowed for 3 days non stop and we had the best skiing conditions ever. It was great for the kids with extremely long green runs from the top of the mountain to the bottom and intermediates would be in heaven but if you are the more experienced skiier there may not be enough to cater for your needs. We stayed in one of the original Valmeinier 1800 buildings that overlooked the main chairlift in the resort, it was a little dated but you could roll out of bed and onto the slopes, Fantastic! The neighbouring Valloire valley is so picturesque with even better runs than Valmeinier, it's a shame that the link wasn't any better. It took 2 chairlifts and a drag just to get there but when you do you will be pleased you made the effort and have an amazing day out. (Valmeinier and Valloire is all included on the ski pass). Valmeinier is a reasonably priced resort and you won't have to pay the same high prices as other nearby resorts but you will have just as much fun for a lower, more reasonable price.
We had an amazing week so visit Valmeinier now!
(Tip: visit the pizza place it's the best I have ever tasted!)
