Les Avanchers - Valmorel Travel Guide

 JosM Says:  Along the streets one remarks many wooden sculptures. They are very attractive and deserve one's attention during a village visit. 3 of them are shown, but there are many more. I had them pictured, but because my camera was stolen while shopping, you will have to go and see... 

 JosM Says:  La belle ballade is a nice, easy hiking trail in and around Valmorel. It has good path signs and is ideal for a first day in the mountains (to adapt to altitude and terrain). 

 Dinoo Says:  First experience with Club Med and delighted.This is the latest Club Med resort, opened 18th December 2011. Nice and clean, great service. Everybody is helpful and friendly. Easily reached by car, train (up to Moutiers, then shuttle from hotel) or airplane (Genève.).This was... 

 Djinn76 Says:  This is a usual self-catering appartment as you can find many in any skiing resort. Nice, new and functionnal but not too many space inside (unless you are less than the recommended number of people).What was particularly nice about this one is that from outside, it didn't... 

 Djinn76 Says:  Unfortunately, I haven't had the opportunity to taste the food. We have spent an afternoon playing cards waiting for the key of our appartments.Really a nice place: all furnitures are made with old-looking wood. The view from the window is awesome.The service is quite... 

 Djinn76 Says:  I 've been here with a huge group of people. Our choice was limited to the usual tartiflette, fondue savoyarde and raclette.I picked the raclette, this is indeed a big half cheese that is progressively melted. The service was paritcularly nice and friendly considering the... 

 Djinn76 Says:  This is a long runs of 3 km later extended by another run called 'la Route du Tour'!! Why a tourist trap? Because there is no slope, this is simply a flat path even climbing up at some points!! This is already boring to do with skis, I don't dare to imagine the feelings of... 

 Djinn76 Says:  Not so obvious to arrive at the bottom oh this chairlift!! The only way is to go through tedious flat runs (Col - Route du Tour).However once you are there, think twice before taking this chairlift, the only way to get down is take eiter a black or a red run!!The red runs is... 

 Djinn76 Says:  This is a nice steep slope allowing to go back to Valmorel without using the boring ski-lift called 'le Frene'.At hte time we were there however, there was a big stone directly in the middle of the runs that was not correctly indicated!!To arrive here from the center of the... 

 Djinn76 Says:  This is the main junction between the two valleys. If you want to ski from Valmorel to St Francois de Longchamp, you don't have the choice you will have to pass through this point....Several lifts and many runs are originating from here.To go back to Valmorel, you will most... 

 Djinn76 Says:  Charming resort with a traditional architecture respecting the mountain. Local people are also quite friendly...The only drawback of this resort is the fact it is splitted in different parts linked by the 'Telebourg', a cable car working only untill 11:30pm. If you want to...
