Valloire at a glance

Valloire is a village resort in the Maurienne valley (Savoie), between the Col du Télégraphe and the Col du Galibier. Together with Valmeinier, linked since 1974, it forms the Galibier-Thabor ski area: according to valloire.net, 160 km of pistes across 5 slopes and 3 massifs, from 1,430 to 2,750 m, with 70% of the runs above 2,000 m and 1,320 m of vertical. There are 91 runs (17 green, 33 blue, 33 red and 8 black) and 30 lifts, including 2 gondolas in the heart of the resort; 50% of the ski area has snowmaking, with 710 snow cannons. The snowpark is on the Crey du Quart at 2,300 m, and there are three beginner areas: Thymel (with a covered magic carpet, at the top of the Sétaz gondola), La Séa (via the Brive gondola) and the Les Verneys drag lift, open access, by the hamlet of the same name.

Season 2026/27: partial pre-openings on 5 and 6 December 2026; Valloire opens the Sétaz and Crey du Quart (80 km of pistes) from 12 to 18 December, and the whole Galibier-Thabor area from 19 December 2026 to 9 April 2027, snow permitting. An adult lift pass (13-64) costs €54.90 for 1 day and €278.50 for 6 days (skipass.valloire.com).
