Alpine ski area — Galibier-Thabor (Valmeinier-Valloire)

Linking the two Maurienne resorts of Valloire and Valmeinier, the Galibier-Thabor ski area offers 160 kilometres of varied runs. It extends across three main massifs (Setaz, Crey du Quart and Gros Crey) and benefits from excellent skiability thanks to its high altitude — 70% of the ski area is above 2,000 metres. Ranging from 1,430 to 2,750 m, the ski area benefits from multiple aspects allowing skiing in sunshine throughout the day. Around thirty ski lifts ensure smooth links, and a network of over 700 snow cannons guarantees the return to the resorts. Around 60% of the runs are on the Valloire side, and 40% on the Valmeinier side. From Valloire, skiers access two massifs: La Setaz — renowned for its more technical runs and sustained north-facing slopes, ideal for strong skiers; and the Crey du Quart (west-facing) — the main link point with Valmeinier, appreciated for its snowpark, Family Park and long wide runs including the famous Escargot green run. On the Valmeinier side, the Gros Crey massif (2,594 m) offers wide, very well-exposed runs with panoramic views over the Aiguilles d’Arves and the Valm’Park snowpark. The Crey du Quart slope towards Valmeinier offers wilder and more forested skiing, with popular runs such as the long blue Armera forest trail and the red Cotiereux, as well as fine views from the blue Combe Orsiere over Mont Thabor. In total, the Galibier-Thabor ski area has 90 runs (18 green, 30 blue, 34 red and 8 black), suited to both beginners and experienced skiers. Beyond snowparks, the ski area has several fun zones, a boardercross and new-discipline areas, confirming its family and sporting vocation.
