A cable car connects Valmeinier to the ski area of Valloire, which together also offer 40km of cross-country trails with diffferent levels of difficulty. Snowboarders can make use of a snowpark which is equipped, among other facilities, with a halfpipe. The skiing conditions are remarkably good throughout the season due to mostly north-facing slopes. With nursery slopes at the top of the mountain, this is a great place for a mixed-ability group or for beginners who don't want to feel they're being left down in the village! There is some good off piste skiing to be discovered - a guide is recommended.
