# Valmorel

The Valmorel ski station is also known as “la Belle” (the beautiful one) and the name is well-deserved. Though it has only been a winter sports resort since 1976 the buildings here still have a distinctive savoyard character. The individual villages which make up the station, grouped around the pedestrianised centre, are characterised by traditional chalets made of stone and wood, houses painted in the traditional style of this region, narrow lanes with arched gateways and some delightfully picturesque squares. No wonder Valmorel has been voted one of the most attractive and friendly ski villages in the whole of France.

But this station, at the centre of the Grand Domaine ski area, is not just gorgeous to look at – holidaymakers who come here enjoy all the benefits that a modern winter sports centre has to offer. Wherever you are staying there is excellent access to the slopes and the downhill run comes right down into the middle of the resort. To save having to walk long distances, guests staying in Valmorel also have the Télébourg cable-car to transport them across the resort.
There are many reasons why winter sports fans will love skiing in Valmorel: firstly, it is situated conveniently close to the world’s biggest ski area - the Trois Vallées – which lies just to the south. Secondly, this charming ski station lies at the heart of the Grand Domaine ski area which means it boasts a huge choice of slopes.
