☀ See Valloire in summer →Holidays in Valloire
A real Savoyard village, alive all year round
Valloire lies in Savoie, in the Maurienne valley, at an altitude of about 1,430 m, between the Col du Télégraphe and the Col du Galibier.
No purpose-built ski resort here: a village with its hamlets, its baroque church, its shops, restaurants and terraces. You come for the skiing, you come back for the atmosphere.
