Skiing resorts in France

Valfrejus-Savoie 73
Valfréjus, France

Located close to Modane and the Frejus Tunnel and just above the village of Charmaix in Savoie, Valfrejus was established in 1983 and is one of the newest resorts in the Alps.

As a result, the architectural style is a much higher standard than other ski resorts built in the sixties.

Ideal for intermediate skiers, the youngest can learnt the basics whilst the others can improve their style on one of the 20 individual pistes representing a total of 52km of downhill skiing.

Above 1500m, with pistes up to more than 2500 metres, skiing and snowboarding is assured throughout the season.
