Ski area Le Grand Domaine
The 165 kilometres of slopes are predominantly of easy to medium difficulty, but there are also challenging runs, mogul slopes and countless deep-snow options. The most difficult run in the Valmorel ski area is the 3 km-long “Le Mottet” with a 600 m vertical drop.
Valmorel is also home to “The Pirates Snowpark”, featuring tables, slides, jumps and a boardercross course. At the top of the Rocher Blanc lift in St. François-Longchamp, freestylers will also find the “Rail Park” snowpark, offering a selection of jumps, kickers and, of course, various rails.
Both the large beginners’ area with extra-slow lifts and the children’s village are exemplary. Here, the little ones are looked after whilst the grown-ups want to ski on their own. Thanks to its ideal location, the area is considered to have guaranteed snow until mid-April.
Après ski Le Grand Domaine
The quiet villages don't offer a lively après ski scene: a holiday in Le Grand Domaine means winter sports, relaxation, resting in the sun and letting your mind wander. End the evening in a cosy bar or cinema. Before that, however, we recommend a visit to one of the many small restaurants. There you can treat your taste buds to Savoyard and international specialities.
A varied programme of sports, games and shows is offered on site during the season. Other activities include tobogganing, ice climbing, hiking (approx. 60 km of trails) and snowmobile and horse-drawn sleigh rides.
Snowpark Le Grand Domaine: Rail Park & The Pirates Snowpark
The "Rail Park" in St. François-Longchamp is a great meeting place for freestyle skiers and snowboarders. Adrenaline junkies and freestyle enthusiasts alike get their money's worth here. The park offers a variety of features such as kickers, rails and boxes that provide plenty of action and fun. Whether you're a seasoned pro or new to freestyle, the rail park in St François-Longchamp provides the perfect backdrop for unforgettable moments and plenty of fun on the piste.
For those looking for further freestyle adventures, Valmorel offers "The Pirates Snowpark" with a wide range of additional freestyle elements. There is also a boardercross course for exciting races and a pirate village with various attractions built especially for children.
