In the 'Golden Valley', Valloire and its 17 hamlets
(including Les Verneys, Les Clots and Les Granges
where some of our accommodation is located) is a
reasonably large traditional village with 1300
inhabitant and is located between 1400m and 1800m. At
the foot of the famous Galibier Pass, Valloire is
accessed via the motorway exit and TGV station at St
Michel de Maurienne (17km and 4 hrs from Paris by
train).
In Valloire there is a good selection of bars,
discos, shops, ice rink, bowling and fitness centre.
Alternatively visit a working farm in Valloire to buy
the local Beaufort cheese or try spotting the chamois
on snowshoe outings, go parapenting or try a
microlight flight. There are 5 kindergartens while
teenagers (10 to 99!) will be keen to visit
Valloire’s Adventure Park.
Each year a snow and ice sculptures contest takes
place in Valloire ski resort. Sculptors from all over
the world meet during three days and three nights...
Galibier Pass – the pass is the natural
frontier between the south and north Alps. It has
been made famous thanks to the Tour de France. You
can admire other summits such as ‘Aiguille
d’Arves’ and see the ibexes. Also not far
from here are the national parks of ‘la
Vanoise’ and ‘les Ecrins’.
