Vallorcine

You’ll love these authentic accommodations, includingthe Hôtel du Buet, its vacation rental apartments, and private homes.

In both summer and winter, the “Valley of the Bears” offers a wide range of activities that will appeal to sports enthusiasts and culture lovers alike.
In winter, snow sports reign supreme. Skiing, ice climbing, sledding, ski touring, and snowshoeing will let you explore unspoiled nature. And in summer, hiking, mountain biking, fishing, and rock climbing will appeal to those who love peace and quiet and wide-open spaces. The most experienced hikers enjoy tackling Mont Buet (3,096 m), also known as the “Mont Blanc des Dames.”

The Barberine and Bérard waterfalls are easily accessible from Vallorcine. You can travel as far as the Emosson Dam in Switzerland to see the traces of the ancestors of dinosaurs.
Delight in the unique history of the village and the small hamlets that make it up. Architecture enthusiasts will be on the lookout for the “raccards”—wheat barns whose distinctive design is found nowhere else in France, a testament to Vallorcine’s Valaisan origins.

A collection of charming hamlets nestled at the foot of the Aiguilles Rouges, Vallorcine is accessible via the Col des Montets. The Mont-Blanc Express train is the preferred mode of transportation. It now runs hourly during the high season.
Since 2004, Vallorcine has been connected to the Balme ski area by a gondola.

Whether you’re looking for sports or culture, your stay in Vallorcine will meet all your expectations in an exceptional natural setting!
