Valloire Transfers

Tucked away in the French Alps, Valloire is a charming village with a rich history. It wasn’t until the 1920s that locals first strapped on skis, but by 1934, they’d fully embraced winter sports and officially became a ski resort.

Since then, Valloire has grown into a beloved destination, known for its 150 kilometres of diverse slopes that cater to all skill levels. What really sets it apart, though, is its warm, family-friendly atmosphere and the breathtaking backdrop of the Galibier Pass.

But Valloire isn’t just about skiing. It’s made quite a name for itself with unique events like the Snow and Ice Sculpture competitions. This perfect blend of winter fun, traditional alpine charm, and a touch of creativity is what keeps visitors coming back year after year.
