Winter is arriving a little earlier than expected at Valmorel. The Vallée d'Aigueblanche resort is getting ready to welcome the first skiers of the season on 13 and 14 December, with an exceptional pre-opening of its ski area. An early break, at a single price of €20 for the day, which promises a great mountain experience for those eager to get on their skis.
Valmorel is benefiting from sufficient snow cover to offer a glimpse of its ski area. For the weekend, several lifts will be open to allow skiers to rediscover the thrills of the early season.
The beginners' area at Malatrai will also be open, so there's something for everyone. This first meeting is designed to be simple, effective and focused on the pleasure of sliding again.
For regulars and the curious alike, it's a chance to rediscover Valmorel in an almost confidential atmosphere, before the official opening and the hustle and bustle of the holidays.
The €20 package: instructions for use
The single pass is only available at the Tour, Crève-Cœur and Planchamp gondola ticket offices.
No online purchases are planned for this first weekend, a deliberately streamlined operation to kick off the season gently.
The lifts planned for this pre-opening
Subject to snow and safety conditions, skiers will be able to use: the Pierrafort gondola, the Planchamp gondola and the Mottet, Biollène and Morel chairlifts.
That's enough time to get back into the swing of things, test your equipment and enjoy the atmosphere of a domain that's just waking up.
A warm-up before the official opening
This pre-opening event sets the tone for the winter season: dynamic, accessible and geared towards local skiers and holidaymakers alike. It also gives the teams on the ground a chance to finalise their adjustments, while offering the public a real mountain experience before its time.
Valmorel will then be open all year round, with its entire ski area and winter activities. In the meantime, this first weekend already promises some great descents and the simple pleasure of being back on the snow.
