Our view on Valloire ski holidays
Skiing in Valloire is not really on the radar yet largely because many non-local skiers tend to head for the large ski carousels year after year such as the Portes du Soleil or the Chamonix Valley.
However, for those in the know, the skiing in Valloire is fantastic with great scenic pistes that flow through the pine forests. The other plus factor is that everything from the lift passes to the apres-ski is significantly cheaper than the larger international resorts without compromising on quality.
