Valmeinier 1800
Skiing on our doorstep at Valmeinier 1800
High in the French Alps at 6000ft, the resort of Valmeinier is a sensational find, an undiscovered ‘gem in the Alps’. Located high in the Maurienne Valley, Valmeinier attracts good snow falls, being only 10 minutes as the crow flies from Val Thorens and its glaciers
Whether you are a beginner, intermediate or advanced skier, this is one of the few resorts that solves the problem of families and groups of different skiing abilities as it caters for all. The small and modern ski village at 1800 is beautifully built and oozes French charm, which merges modern design with the traditional. Valmeinier 1500 is an old, picturesque mountain village, harmoniously nestling in the slopes just a short ski down from our club hotel
