Valloire, Mountain resort in Savoie, France

The village extends across seventeen hamlets between two mountain streams, the Valloirette and Neuvachette, at an elevation of 1,430 meters.

The transformation of Valloire began in the 1930s when the first ski club established operations, leading to rapid development of hotels and ski infrastructure.

The International Competition of Ice Sculptures and Snow Sculptures, initiated in 1984, brings artists from multiple countries to create winter masterworks.

The ski area contains 150 kilometers of slopes served by 33 lifts, connecting with neighboring Valmeinier to form an extensive winter sports network.

The French Foreign Legion maintains a specialized mountain training facility in Les Verneys, where new recruits learn alpine military techniques.
