The best things about Valmorel

Safe pistes,
few crowds

There's plenty of space for everyone at Valmorel, so the pistes are safe and never over-crowded. The ski area (165km of pistes) is relatively large for the amount of resort accommodation.

Fun
for everyone!

The Grand Domaine has 18 leisure zones specially designed to provide fun activities for all levels and ages! The Pirate Village, at the heart of the ski area, is great for younger children, when teenagers will want to hang out in the snowpark and cruise the freeride and boardercross runs...

Beginners
welcome!

There are dedicated safe areas for beginners and timid skiers who want to find their ski legs before venturing further afield on Valmorel's fabulous pistes.

What's new?

Express Skipass Purchase Points

After Doucy, it is now the turn of the pedestrian street of Valmorel, at the Planchamp bottom, to install a brand new "Express Skipass Purchase Point". Equipped with a skipass purchase and recharging terminal, it will be possible to buy your skipasses independently and during extended opening hours before going skiing!

Pirate Village upgrade

There are new features in the Pirate Village for even more fun and games for younger skiers.

The Altispace chairlift becomes the Planchamp gondola!

Equipped with 10-seater gondolas, the Planchamp gondola will take you to the heart of Valmorel's snow garden in less than 5 minutes, to the delight of skiers and pedestrians alike, winter and summer alike.

See you on December 23rd, 2023 to test this little jewel of technology, made in Savoie, for the benefit of our riders…
