This resort, one of the most recent additions to the French Alps, has managed from its inception to harmonise with its surroundings, crafting a magical setting where mountains and chalets converge to welcome holidaymakers into a picturesque embrace.
The ski area, connected to Saint François Longchamps, sprawls over 160km, offering a vast playground for both winter and summer pursuits. It’s a place where the essence of mountain living is celebrated beyond the slopes. As the locals often say, “in Valmorel, we don’t just go skiing, we especially go to the mountains.” This sentiment resonates deeply with me, highlighting the immersive experience Valmorel offers to those who seek the mountain’s serene embrace.
Personal experiences in Valmorel carve a special niche in my heart. Setting off for a ski touring adventure early in the morning towards the Crêve-Tête summit, I find solace in the forest’s tranquillity. The journey, a quiet contemplation amidst nature’s untouched beauty, culminates in a moment of pure bliss as I pause at the summit to welcome the sunrise. This sense of peace and connection to nature doesn’t diminish with the seasons. When winter’s white mantle recedes, revealing a tapestry of wildflowers, the same mountains invite me to camp under a starlit sky, offering a different yet equally enchanting experience.
Valmorel, with its harmonious blend of nature and architecture, extensive slopes, and the promise of genuine mountain experiences, holds a dear place in my affections. It’s a sanctuary where every visit—whether cloaked in snow or blooming with alpine flora—leaves a lasting imprint, a reminder of the profound beauty and tranquillity the mountains bestow upon those who venture into their realm.”
