The Skiers' Guide to Valmorel

This ki resort was a lot quieter than others we have visited such as La Plagne at Christmas time.
Very traditional French alpine village vibes.
Everyone friendly and helpful in villages and on the mountain.
Even in low snow conditions lifts were adapted and all runs marked extremely well.
We have some beginner skiers in our group and there are many easy runs for them to do all over the Valmorel resort, as well as some more challenging runs for more experienced people.
Not as much night life as the bigger resorts, but still plenty of entertainment and open bars and restaurants to visit.
Overall a great place to ski in peak season thats quieter than dome of the bigger resorts.

Small and family friendly ski resort with nicely groomed slopes and a begin domain area available when all the lifts are open.

Valmorel is a beautiful little village with a hotel at leading directly to the main lift. The bottom floor of the hotel is ski hire. Overall it's quiet and family friendly with good snow.

Amazing resort, brilliant ski schools and ESF staff, would recommend going slightly later in the season as when we arrived middle of December there wasn’t a lot of snow, meaning a lot of pistes were closed. However when they opened up there’s many fun and exciting runs to do.

My partner skis and he loves this resort it has everything we want and more well worth a visit wether you are a skier or not there are many options

Lovely family ski resort with a huge ski area, great snow and a charming village. It is really easy to get around the village.

Great little Valmorel with fantastic amenities for families on and off the piste. A new cable car whisks you up to the main ski area, and connecting Saint Francois Longchamps is an easy commute for cruisey blues. This is a great overall resort for people learning or improving their snow sports abilities, with a separate sledging slope, zip wire and beautiful main street. Well worth a visit and an easy drive to The Three Valleys if needs be.

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.

Quiet pretty village/resort with Just enough for a weeks skiing with a couple challenging off piste runs
