Balme Tour-Vallorcine, is two routes to one a huge domain! From the village of Le Tour (11km from the centre of Chamonix), access is via the Charamillon gondola which will be replaced for Christmas 2022. From the village of Vallorcine (15km from the centre of Chamonix), there is the Vallorcine gondola, very close to the Swiss border.
This vast area at the end of the valley offers an exceptional panorama over the Chamonix valley and even Switzerland!
Bathed in sunshine, the Balme ski area opens up to 21 varied and easy slopes to guarantee superb days of fun skiing for all. From its highest point located at 2270m, discover many blue and red slopes.
Here, it's two faces, double the pleasure! The Vallorcine face which takes you down to 1264m and the Tour face which takes you to 1462m. When you are at the bottom, you will want for only one thing: to go back up again to come down even better!
In Balme, don't miss Summit Park, our snowpark. Designed for the most committed of skiers, it is one of the largest freestyle areas in Europe! If you are a fan of the gates, a filmed and timed "two-person start" slalom stadium allows you to launch your greatest challenges!
If you like snowshoeing, also discover magnificent marked and secure routes towards Switzerland or the Aiguillette des Posettes (2200m).
We even thought about your desire for a little break! The Balme ski area is rich in bars and restaurants for all your gourmet moments. So, you see, everything has been planned for your pleasure!
For a day with friends or family, a discovery weekend or short stays, book online to save time!
And take advantage of your stay to discover the other wonders of MONT-BLANC Natural Resort, the largest of the natural playgrounds!
