I have skied Valmeinier and Valloir at least half a dozen times and can thoroughly recommend it. Combined with Valloir it is certainly large enough and offers lots of varied skiing. My last time there was the week before shut down of the slopes due to Covid. I stay at the Snowcoach Hotel L'Aigle which is right next to the ski lifts. Of the ski firms I have used, Snowcoach has to be my favourite, offering by far the most value for money and providing things that I have not come across with any other firm. The slopes have decent lifts and queues have never been a problem. If you are a beginner there is a very wide slope off of the first chair lift that is ideal for beginners. I wish all the people and workers in Valmeinier and the staff of Snowcoach and Hotel L'Aigle all the best, and here's hoping we all get through this bloody pandemic safely. See you next year!
