Valmeinier
Valmeinier,
in the southern Savoy, benefits from an excellent snow record and exceptional
levels of sunshine. A pedestrianised carefully planned village resort set on a
plateau at 1800m, it shares a lift system with Valloire and offers a surprising
150km of excellent skiing with few queues.
Fresh
snowfall opens up excellent off piste skiing. The lift pass allows for a day's
skiing in Le Corbier or Valfréjus, and the new 3 Valleys link to Val Thorens
from Orelle is about 30 minutes drive away. Ideal for families, the children's
club, at the foot of the slopes, takes babies from 3 months. It is only 12 km
from the A43 motorway.
