Ski Facts
With over 150 km of slopes between 1430 and 2600 meters high and excellent conditions, the newly baptised Galibier-Thabor ski area (We?ll keep calling it Valloire/Valmeinier for a while longer) has got something for everyone. The ski area is linked to the neighbouring resort Valmeinier giving 180km of well-groomed runs. The resort is recommended for beginners and intermediates - skiers as well as snowboarders. Beginners may particularly enjoy the fact that there are nursery slopes at the top of the mountain. Intermediates have a good choice of runs including some nice reds and not too-challenging blacks that may be within the means of most intermediate skiers. For advanced skiers, there are few blacks only, some of which can be considered testing, and a fair bit of off-piste when the conditions are right. The skiing conditions are remarkably good throughout the season due to the fact that the most of the terrain is north facing with 70% of the ski area is located above 2000 m high.
There is a 170 m vertical drop, 33 ski lifts and 85 slopes of every level, a capacity of more than 42000 skiers / hour, optimum snow cover from December to April thanks to more than 400 snow-canons, also three slalom slopes and two competition slopes and finally freestyle areas and 10 picnic areas.
