Valmorel summary

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),

Visitor Reviews of Valmorel


asteroguif from France writes:

Valmorel est l'une des plus jolies stations de Savoie et même de toutes les alpes francaises... l'architecture et les matériaux utilisés respectent les traditions et le cadre montagnard. C est vraiment plaisant de s'y balader le soir.
Pour ce qui est du domaine Valmorel est une petite /moyenne station qui se suffit à elle même en terme de pistes et n a pas grand chose a envier à ses grandes voisines de la Tarantaise à part le nombre de Km de pistes. En effet le domaine est varié vraiment très bien pour type de niveau excepter le ski vraiment technique et difficile.Le park est fun et pas disproportionné comme dans certaines stations...Pour ce qui est du freeride, pour ceux qui connaissent y a moyen de se gaver... station à conseiller à ceux qui veulent une pratique assidue mais décontractée de la glisse dans un cadre vraiment sympathique... à déconseiller aux groupes de jeunes anglais qui viennent faire moitié beuverie moitié ski (vous risquez de vite faire le tour des spots nocturnes).
et aux inconditionnels des tignes, trois vallées etc... qui veulent avaler des KM de pistes avec pente à 80 pourcent... en gros faut etre à la cool à valmo!
