Situated a few kilometres as the bird flies from The Vanoise National Park, and at the heart of the Valmeinier - Valloire slopes (150 km of runs) the Valmeinier resort is the latest resort in the Maurienne area. It enjoys excellent snowcover and a remarkable amount of sunshine.
At an altitude of 1500 metres, with direct access to the runs, Valmeinier is a village resort that has managed to retain its authentic character, with its narrow streets and stone houses with their lauze stone roofs.
Valmeinier includes a resort higher up (at 1800 m) which is also at the foot of the runs. Valmeinier 1800 was designed with integration into the surrounding landscape, warmth and functionality in mind. There is a free shuttle bus service linking Valmeinier 1500 and 1800.
