Balme - Vallorcine ski resort
Ski area Balme - Vallorcine Argentière In the mood for wide open spaces and gentle slopes? Then head for the Domaine de Balme Vallorcine, the "Ski Nature" spot par excellence. Departing from the authentic villages of Le Tour (11km from Chamonix) and Vallorcine, discover an area with two faces, nestled in unspoilt mountain pastures. Two sides, two atmospheres: - Côté Le Tour (Charamillon): Bathe in the light on wide, gentle slopes overlooking the entire Chamonix valley. It's the ideal playground for skiing pleasure and contemplation. - Côté Vallorcine (Vallorcine side): A change of scenery and a plunge into the heart of a fir-tree forest for hushed, wild skiing on the edge of the Swiss border. The little extra that makes all the difference: Become the star of the slope! Try out our filmed Slalom Area. Accessible to all, this stage allows you not only to time yourself, but also to take home the video of your exploit. On your marks...
