Valmorel Resort Information
Our Snow Express luxury coach service runs weekly between London and Valmorel.
The French ski resort of Valmorel is located in the Savoie department and is part of the Le Grand Domaine Ski Area with access to 139 individual pistes. In addition to the skiing in Valmorel itself (152km of pisted ski runs), the appropriate ski lift pass will allow you to ski or snowboard in the other Le Grand Domaine ski resorts of Doucy-Combelouvière and St François Longchamp. Valmorel is directly linked by ski lift to the ski areas of Doucy-Combelouvière and St François Longchamp.
Marketed primarily as an intimate resort proud of its architecture and layout, it comes as a pleasant surprise to find that the ski area is so big, with 150km of runs stretching across the Maurienne and Tarentaise Valley. Such a ski area is not huge by the standards of the French super resorts but it's certainly as big as anywhere else you will find in the world. Known as the Grand Domaine area, it inevitably links to neighbouring resorts, in this case St François-Longchamp, as well as the smaller traditional villages of Doucy and Les Avanchers nearby. The two major resorts are at each extreme of the skiing area so there's a good sense of travelling to get from one to the other and its best to allow a full day to make the return trip. More than 300 snow guns help to ensure that the link stays complete throughout the season.
