Valloire
Valloire is the best known of the Maurienne resorts internationally. It is an attractive, polished village with a strong summer trade - the Tour de France normally goes through en route for the famous Col du Galibier. It shares an extensive area of slopes with Valmeinier.

Forecast today: Mainly fair
- Max temp: 9.7 °c
- Min temp: 0.2 °c
- Last snowed: Thu 13 Mar
Gondolas go up to both local sectors of slopes. Sétaz has nursery slopes and restaurants at the mid-mountain junction of Thimel, on the treeline
Sétaz is essentially of red gradient, and blue as well as green runs have to wind their way down. There are a couple of just-genuine blacks served by a six-pack. The second sector, Crey du Quart, has a six-pack to the top height of 2535m above its gondola, making the link with Valmeinier and serving a much broader area of red and blue runs. At the south end of this sector, long and very gentle blue runs loop away from the lifts to take you down into the valleys that separate it from Sétaz and Valmeinier. One flank of Sétaz and most of Crey du Quart face west, and suffer from the sun. There is lots of off piste terrain.
Valloire has a good range of lodgings with many newly refurbished chalets and apartments. There are lots of highly traditional restaurants, but for lower cheese content the best bet is Chez Fred (or the hotel Patchwork). The resort is a pleasant place to spend time, and there is a reasonable range of off-slope activities, including skating and snowshoeing, alongside a Friday market.
It’s a compact village, with its main lifts a short walk from the fine old church and central square. Naturally, modern developments spread away from this central area – pretty much all in traditional chalet style.

Snow Overview
France
Updated 28/03
After a few weeks of calm and settled conditions, cool weather moves in to begin the weekend. The freezing line drops from 2,250m in the midday sun to around 1,750 tomorrow, falling lower overnight. This will see a few flurries of snowfall bringing a useful freshener for mid-to-upper elevations.
Cloud and cool conditions continue on Sunday, before more high pressure and fine, dry and bright conditions dominate once again from Monday onwards. The freezing line will fluctuate over the course of the new week, introducing freeze-thaw conditions once again, but will settled into a pattern of hitting around 2,500m in the midday sun , cooling to 1,750m overnight.
This pattern is likely to continue for some time to come.
