The Pirate Village
New for 2024: a new wooden pirate castle for all the little sailors who want to anchor in the Pirates Village!
At the heart of the Valmorel ski area, you will find the Pirate Village, a huge, safe area for children from 2 to 10 years old, and a great meeting point for all the family!
The Pirate Castle is situated in a playground full of attractions: slides, a giant “spider” course, a turnstile, secret passages, a “snowball” wall.
During the school holidays, Captain Crozet is in charge of the Village. Meet him Monday & Wednesday afternoon, to joint the Pirate challenges, treasure hunts and other fun things to do!
The Pirate Village can be also be accessed by adults and young children on foot via the Planchamp gondola.
This area is accessible to skiers and non-skiers alike (including parents with young children and grandparents on snowshoes!) from Valmorel via the Planchamp gondola.
Last but not least, the Pirates Village is also the place to meet up and have a picnic! Tables, benches and deckchairs are available in the sunniest area of the resort!
