Little known French resort, two hours from Geneva, a great village, huge ski area with terrain for everyone, with rarely a queue at the lifts.Good selection of bars and restaurants and a very reasonable lift pass price.

The resort is great for budget skiing as accommodation can be found for cheap. Ski hire was also very affordable from the celliers lift cabin. Lift pass was no less than nearby resorts such as Courchevel which didnt equate to the smaller size of Valmorel. Great resort for a couples weekend trip or family, but not large enough for a week of skiing.

Valmorel is a fantastic option if you're after a most cost affective and smaller resort. Particularly well set up for families and beginners, the resort has a great beginner section away from the main pistes. A brand new 20 million cable car has replaced a lower chairlift, making it even quicker to get up to the decent runs. Consistenting mainly of blues and more challenging blues / reds, this is a great resort to advance from a beginner to an intermediate. The piste side bars and restaurants are relatively cheap, and the village has plenty of alpine appeal, with several supermarkets that aide those opting for self catered accommodation. Overall, this is a fantastic resort for families with younger children or equally great as a weekend destination for those who just want to have fun without too much cost.
