Valmorel Ski Resort Guide
Valmorel Ski Resort Guide
Valmorel is the main ski area in the Grand Domaine ski region that offers over 150 km of piste, from 1400 to 2100m. Valmorel is aimed at intermediate skiers, although beginners will find some nice easy runs on which to learn. Advanced skiers may not have too many runs to keep them occupied, however, there is some very good off-piste skiing, if conditions permit. The village of Valmorel is quite low but you can usually ski to the door due to the new snow cannons. In 2011 they upgraded the lift system giving easier access to the Grand Domaine. There are some great restaurants and bars both on and off the piste. Night life is OK, it is not as lively as some resorts but there are plenty of bars to quench your thirst.

Visitor Reviews of Valmorel
Mieke from Belgium writes:
We stayed at Valmorel for 1 week. We had an excellent stay at the brand new Club Med resort! Valmorel is a little village but very cosy. The staff at the hotel are very friendly and helpful. Club Med has a a children's club for babies through to teenagers. Qualified staff members with boundless enthusiasm ensure parents and children gain maximum benefit, guaranteeing happiness for children and peace of mind for parents. Located at the foot of the slopes, you can literally put on your gear in the ski room and ski from the door. We really recommend this place!!
