The resort is popular with families and those wanting a relaxing holiday, offering cafe`s and bars to sit at during the day and friendly apres ski in the evening.

Beginners
Valmorel features an excellent, dedicated beginners` area, enabling novices to master the art of skiing in comfort and security, building confidence to explore the many green and blue runs around the resort. They even have a slow-speed chairlift so you can get used to ski lifts at a reasonable pace.

Intermediate
With the emphasis on red and blue runs, Valmorel is an intermediate`s dream. All who come are pleasantly surprised by the extent of the marked pistes. The slopes face in all directions so, when the sun shines, it is possible to ski in it all day long. A day trip over to St. Francois Longchamp is particularly enjoyable.

Advanced
Together with some challenging red and black runs, Valmorel really comes into its own for off-piste skiing. There`s a vast powder bowl from the top of the Col du Gollet which is absolutely superb when conditions are good. Alternatively why not head into the terrain park and have a play.

Snowboarding
Valmorel offers a good variety of pisted and off-piste terrain, a lot of which is accessed via drag lifts causing some boarders frustration. Weather permitting the area has a snowboard park that includes a half-pipe as well as various bumps and jumps.

Apres Ski
Informal and relaxed, centred around the cafes, bars and restaurants in the village. You can dance until late at Le Clover and Cafe de la Gare now has a DJ.

Children
Occupying a prime site in the centre of the resort, the kindergarten and creche facilities are second to none. The snow garden has two tow lifts and over 6 hectares of skiing area reserved for children enrolled in the club. The children`s chalet contains games room, changing room, baby gym, creative workshops and dining areas as well as a library and rest area. The club caters for children aged from 18 months to 2 years and 3 to 6 years. The Club is open Sun-Fri from 09.00-17.15.
