Valmorel

Built from scratch in the mid-1970s, Valmorel is unlike any of its contemporaries - its central development feels like a tiny mountain town and is not an eyesore like most French purpose-built resorts.

Valmorel is the main resort in 'Le Grand Domaine' - the ski area it shares with St-Francois and Longchamp.

The ski area is excellent for beginners and early intermediates. 70% of the runs are either green or blues. The main beginners area in the resort is accessed from the top of the Rocher lift. Those looking to progress should test themselves on the gentle blues emanating from the top of the Côte Soleil lift before moving on to the blues at the top of the Pierrafort gondola. Advanced skiers have a good number of options available to them with 15km of blacks, the challenging Combe de Riondet snowcross and some challenging off piste, particularly on the Massif de la Lauzière (you may want to hire a guide).

The resort has a few self-catering apartments to stay in, as well as a single hotel. There are a good number of restaurants and a surprising number of bars for such a small resort. The easiest way to get there is to fly to Geneva and then take a two hour transfer. Another option is to take the train as far as Moûtiers and then take a short transfer.

Pros and cons

A sympathetically designed purpose-built, car-free resort
Largely slope-side accommodation
Extensive easy slopes linked to St-FranÃ§ois-Longchamp
Beginners and children particularly well catered for

Few challenges on-piste
Mostly low, so snow is a worry; and snowmaking is not comprehensive
Still lots of slow lifts and drags
Steep site, with outlying lodgings very separate from the resort core

Snow Overview

France

Updated 02/05

Warm temperatures start the weekend, with the freezing line hitting 4,000m during the midday sun on Friday. This will fall, however, over the course of the long weekend, eventually hitting 2,000m on Monday evening and staying low throughout the new week.

Cloud will dominate this weekend, and with it will come precipitation. This will begin as rain on Saturday, but as things turn cooler this will turn to snow, with around 5cm falling across the region over Sunday evening, Monday and throughout Tuesday; this will fall on higher ground only as the freezing line remains on or just above 2,000m. High pressure returns in the middle of the week with plenty of fine, dry and bright conditions

Thus concludes this season’s snow overviews; thank you to everyone who has read them this season, and we look forward to seeing you again next year!
