At Valmorel, you can learn to ski and discover the joys of the snow and the mountains with your family thanks to the Pirate Adventure play areas!
Real live attractions are available in a totally safe environment in our various fun areas, designed for all ages and all ski levels.
Pirate 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.
Captain Crozet is in charge of the Village, which is open from Monday & Wednesday afternoon, and he arranges 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. It’s a super meeting point for a picnic, with
free deckchairs and picnic-tables in one of the sunniest spots in Valmorel!
