💡
Did you know?
Founded in 1936, it is the oldest resort in the Alpes-Maritimes: on 14 March 1936 it opened the department's first lift, the Cloutas ‘tire-luge’, individual wooden sledges pulled by a cable, on which skiers crouched.
Its name, made official in 1935, comes from the local expression ‘lou valloun des bergians’: the shepherds' valley.

✍️ Our take on Valberg

A resort on a human scale, Valberg focuses on the quality of its welcome and its closeness rather than impressive figures. Its 60 km of runs are ideal for a stay of 3 to 4 days, especially with family or for skiers who don't need to constantly change their playground. Valberg's family reputation is well earned: dedicated beginner areas, a well-run childcare service, well-groomed green runs and a friendly atmosphere at the foot of the lifts. It is one of the most reassuring resorts in the Southern Alps for learning to ski with children. Valberg's altitude (1,430 m at the base, 2,100 m at the top) helps it maintain decent snow cover in midwinter. January and February are the most reliable months; in December and March, it is worth checking conditions before finalising a booking. At €37, the day lift pass places Valberg among the mid-range resorts on price: neither cheap nor exorbitant. The quality of the ski area and facilities justifies this price for most skiers. In short: Valberg is one of those rare resorts that combines a real village, a sincere family atmosphere and runs suited to everyone. It's hard to have a bad stay here.
