Valloire offers reasonable but not exceptional snow reliability.

 

The best snow is likely to be on the north facing Setaz sector, whilst the Crey du Quart area is more vulnerable to the sun and can suffer as the season wears on.

 

Snow-making is comprehensive and ensures that most key links remain open, even in difficult conditions.
