Valloire is located right in between the 2 mountain passes Col du Galibier and Col du Télégraphe in the Savoyard Alps. The picturesque village is dominated by old, stone buildings, and right in between those runs the Valloirette stream - providing the village with a very unique mountain village charm. But this place is so much more than only a place of French Alpine tradition. Leisure time activities, such as ice skating and paragliding, but also more extraordinary sports, e.g. speedriding on skis or a tandem jump from a propeller jet on skates can be tried here.

The resort organises an attractive winter season programme for all it's visitors every year. The New Year's Eve event "SnowBall" on the main street and the "Big Air Festival" with DJ and mulled wine stands are only two of a number of cultural events that take place here.In January 2015 for example, there is an event you won't want to miss: Valloire host the annual ice and snow sculpture championships, in which international artists carve and display their frozen works.
