Ski resort extension on the 'Pointe de la Sandonière' area by creating a new 6 persons chairlift going from the Inversins chairlift top up to 2750 m.
From Christmas 2019 the very exciting, and delayed, expansion in Valmeiner will finally be opening. Currently, with 150km of pistes, Valmeinier is growing by a huge 10km. Choosing to expand the resort to the north-west, the decision was made to ‘’go up’’ to the snow sure peaks rather than investing and replacing lifts lower down.
The new 6 person chairlift, Sandonière, has the capacity to carry up to 2800 people per hour and will allow skiers and snowboarders to explore the new 10km of pistes at the new heights of 2740 meters. Here you will be greeted with breathtaking panoramic views across the Galiber-Thabor valley. From here you can choose one of two new red runs ‘’Moraine’’ or ‘’Carline’’. Joining runs at the lower level you now have the freedom to ski the whole way back to Valmeinier 1800.
