Skiing in Valloire

Valloire makes up the Galibier-Thabor ski area along with nearby Valmeinier. Altogether, the area has 150km of runs, many of which are ideal for beginners, with plenty of gentle, open slopes to explore. Galibier-Thabor is divided into three areas. From Valloire there is easy access to Sétaz, which has some fantastic off-piste and tree skiing, while Crey du Quart, between Valloire and Valmeinier, is home to a large number of blues and reds, as well as a snowpark. On the other side of Valmeinier, you'll find the Gros Crey area, with some lovely long reds, a decent black, and plenty of off-piste in between.
