Valmorel is truly a family friendly resort when it comes to skiing and snowboarding. There’s an excellent nursery area and a highly recommended ski school for the little ones; a cross track and terrain park with half-pipe for the teenagers; plenty of easy blues and reds for a hung-over dad and several testing black runs plus unlimited off-piste for that high octane chick called mum. Valmorel does really offer a bit of everything to everyone but on balance is probably most suited to beginners and intermediates. The ski and snowboard area is extensive covering 152 kilometers of marked piste and takes in several settlements including Longchamp and St Francois over the hill in the Maurienne valley.
