Recent Reviews

I've been to Valmeinier and Valloire many times, it's a reasonably extensive skiing area, the lift passes are also reasonable. My four children learnt to ski and snowboard here, as have there partners over time. Finally it's just a short drive up the mountain from the autoroute, with a largish supermarket at the bottom of the valley to stock up with supplies before you drive up to the resort.

Quiet resort but can ski over to Valloire. A hidden gem which is not overly busy.Ski lifts are quick and never much queuing. Apres ski is quiet, there is a bowling alley, but a resort for those who love to be on the slopes rather than off them.
