The old village of Valloire sits right at the foot of its slopes, so plenty of hotels and chalets are a short walk or ski from the lifts.
Valloire is that increasingly rare thing, a high-mountain resort that grew from a real Savoyard village, complete with a baroque church and working farms, at the foot of the legendary Col du Galibier. Its slopes climb both sides of the valley and connect with neighbouring Valmeinier to make the 150 km Galibier-Thabor domain, sunny and nicely balanced between gentle and challenging. The atmosphere is friendly and unpretentious, with a famous ice and snow sculpture festival that fills the village square each winter.
