Saint-François Longchamp - Valmorel, what a place to ski!
Pleasures for every season Grandiose nature, fantastic sights to see and the most prestigious Alpine summits offer visitors a multitude of pleasures and sports activities whether in the snow or in the sun...downhill or cross-country skiing, rambling, mountaineering, rock-climbing, via ferrata, paragliding, mountain biking, horse-riding and bathing (in lakes or the resort’s own swimming pool), not to mention the leisure facilities and shops (cinema, restaurants, discotheque), the activities and events that mark the annual calendar of village life and, first and foremost, the typically cheerful nature of the village inhabitants.
Whether you do them on horseback, bike or on foot, all paths here lead to nature and happy holidays!
…a health and fitness resort too! Le Forum des Eaux®, dreamed up by the great cycling champion Bernard Hinault, is an aquatherapy centre geared to health and mental and physical well-being. The project was drawn up in close collaboration with a team of doctors, sports coaches and physiotherapists. It offers original, personalised fitness and relaxation programmes for everyone.

Luxurious interiors, sumptuous materials… design and construction perfectly combined to create spaces for living.
Tradition – for dreams come true Reconciling a real-estate project with exemplary building practice and modernity with tradition was the challenge facing the designer and constructor of this construction project for 14 traditional chalets. A unique situation, hidden from view while just a stone’s throw away from the resort, with a breathtaking panorama, high-end services, meticulously designed interiors – everything was dreamed up, thought out and built to offer unparalleled comfort and the very best quality. Bases in concrete and natural stone, a wooden frame and superstructure, stone-tile roofing – these are the details and extra touches which lend these chalets their unique character. And since this quality and comfort will be yours too, all options are open to you as to how the interior is to be arranged. Thanks to the constructor’s expert skills and know-how, this carefully implemented building project will rapidly turn into a living space which is a reflection of you – the perfect expression of a passion shared for beauty and authenticity!
