The place
Valmorel is not in Les Trois Vallées. Les 3 Vallées names seven resorts: Courchevel, Méribel, Les Menuires, Saint-Martin-de-Belleville, Val Thorens, Orelle, and Brides-les-Bains. Valmorel is absent. It sits in the Tarentaise and is marketed with Saint-François-Longchamp as Le Grand Domaine, a different pass, a different map, a different price.
An old article on this site put Valmorel in a “Les Trois Vallées” headline. That page now redirects to the Savoie cluster, where the seven resorts are listed. Valmorel is also not a 2030 competition venue.
It can still be a good week: a purpose-built village, a quieter domain, and a bus ride rather than a shared lift if you want a day in the big area. Book it for what it is.
Before you book
Read the resort’s current piste map for the week you travel. A kilometre total is a brochure figure, useful for comparing domains and useless for predicting a queue. Lift passes are explained on the pass page. The Games timetable, where this resort is involved, is on the venue table.
