Les Avanchers-Valmorel lies in the Morel valley, where forested Alpine slopes rise from the lower Tarentaise toward the ski terrain of Le Grand Domaine. The commune brings together the older hamlets of Les Avanchers and Valmorel, a purpose-built resort opened in 1976. Its centre uses Savoyard-inspired timber and stone architecture, with largely pedestrian lanes rather than the high-rise form of some French ski stations. In winter, lifts and pistes link Valmorel with Saint-François-Longchamp; summer brings walking and cycling across mountain pastures above the valley. The Isère valley, one of Savoie's main Alpine corridors, is close by. Explore nearby webcam locations that provide complementary perspectives on the Morel valley and Tarentaise.
