Visitor Reviews of Valmeinier


Sue T from United Kingdom writes:

We have just visited Valmienier for the first time (January 2nd) and fell in love. Ok, the runs are not as plentiful as some resorts but it is so friendly, quiet and reasonably priced. We stayed in an apartment in 1800; just a 50m walk you are on the piste and down to the main chair lift. We would not hesitate to go back, and we are looking to book for April, cannot wait. So please do not all rush there and overcrowd the place, but do try it, you may be suprised that smaller can be better!
