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: Partly cloudy
- Max temp: 11.6 °c
- Min temp: 4.5 °c
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.

Green Credentials
Ski Club Recognised: Environmentally Sustainable Resort
The Ski Club uses third party independent assessments and accreditation of ski resorts to determine a resort “environmentally sustainable” – more information can be found here.
As part of the French Flocon Vert (tr. Green Snowflake) scheme, Valloire has been awarded one snowflake out of a possible three, representing investment in resources to reduce its environmental impact. Flocon Vert is an independent scheme operated by Mountain Riders, which accredits resorts in France who have met twenty criteria based on environmental, social and economic sustainability.
- Valloire was first accredited in 2022
- Diversity has been a key foundation of the economy, covering year-round tourism and support for local non-tourist industries
- The resort has implemented a far-reaching redevelopment plan

Snow Overview
France
Updated 15/04
Winter seemingly returns to the French Alps this week, with temperatures dropping and snow falling across many areas. After the freezing line peaks at 3,000m on Tuesday, this drops back to 1,750m across most of the French Alps on Wednesday and THursday, as unsettled weather and precipitation return to the region. This will bring a around a foot of snow to areas above this elevation through the middle of this week.
After a brief pause – which will see the odd fleck of sun and the freezing line climbing to 2,500m – the freezing line then takes a long walk off a short pier, plummeting to 500m overnight Saturday into Sunday. A belt of snow will hit the region, too, bringing around half-a-foot to most elevations. This will be an incredibly useful top up to lower elevations that have, perhaps, struggled in recent spring conditions.
High pressure means Sunday should be fairly clear, but more unsettled weather and snow moves in through the new week.
