Valmorel is the main ski area in the Grand Domaine ski region that offers over 150 km of piste. 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 off-piste skiing if conditions permit. It is also worth noting that the resort of Valmorel is relatively low at 1400m and can suffer from a lack of snow that prevents you skiing to your door. Also, the lift system could do with an upgrade to speed things up. Off the piste Valmorel is surprisingly sympathetic for a purpose built resort and there is ample slope side accommodation. Night-life is ok; not as lively as some resorts but there are plenty of bars that will quench your thirst.

Resorts close to Valmorel include: Les Avanchers (3 km), Brides Les Bains (10 km), Saint François Longchamp (10 km), St Martin de Belleville (10 km), La Tania (12 km),

I learned to ski in Valmorel at the age of 39. The slopes are very forgiving for beginners but are also challenging for better skiers such as my partner who has been skiing since she was 17. A note of caution however, the Planchamp piste under the Altispace chairlift is quite steep for beginners and will take a little courage to tackle, but there is a blue run down to the right of it which is easier. Take a ski trip to Doucy for a coffee at the Blizzard cafe, looking back up the valley to Valmorel - fantastic easy cruising down a snow road.

The pistes at the top of the Altispace chairlift are a playground for all skiers, but ladies beware the draglifts at the base of these pistes as they are very fierce on "take off". Take the chair if you are of a nervous disposition! Other than that, Valmorel is a lovely place, very quiet for families and couples. You can ski for hours then take Les Traverses home to the village in about 10 minutes. We have been twice and will return in the future. Give it a try for Christmas for the huge firework display.
