Galibier-Thabor

Valloire and Valmeinier, two villages in the Maurienne valley nestled below the Galibier pass, have shared 160 km of runs spread across five slopes since 2007. Valloire has kept its character as a street village, with its 17th-century baroque church and its authentic atmosphere; Valmeinier, the newer of the two, spreads between an old village at 1,500 m and a resort at 1,800 m. The ski area climbs to 2,750 m, and 70% of its runs lie above 2,000 m, which ensures solid snow cover from December to April. It is also a playground for cyclists in summer, with the Galibier and the Télégraphe within handlebar reach.
