Valmorel is one of the most family-friendly ski resorts in the French Alps β and what makes it special is how well the whole resort is laid out for a stress-free ski holiday.

I tried the E-Buggy in Val dβIsΓ¨re, a 100% electric vehicle designed for thrills and spectacular drifts on snow.
Developed and refined in Val dβIsΓ¨re over the seasons, the E-Buggy combines performance, driving fun and an innovative electric concept, making it one of the most unique winter activities to try in resort.
In this video, I show you what the E-Buggy experience is really like, including the track, the driving feel, the available sessions and whether it is actually worth doing on your Val dβIsΓ¨re ski holiday.
You can book this activity on the Evolution 2 Val dβIsΓ¨re website: evolution2.com/en/val-disere/e-buggy?v=3919
This is not sponsored and I paid for the session myself, so this is simply my honest review.

Paris stopover at the Eiffel Tower, then straight to the French Alps by train. I stayed at the Pullman Paris Tour Eiffel (exceptional close-up Eiffel Tower views), then headed to Paris Gare de Lyon to catch the TGV INOUI to Grenoble.
If youβre also wondering about transfers from the train station to your ski resort (Courchevel, MΓ©ribel, Val dβIsΓ¨re, Tignes, Les Arcs, La RosiΓ¨re and more),
Iβve put a full guide on *the fastest ways to get to the French ski resorts* β including the main gateway stations/airports and what to do for the final leg into the mountains:
topsnowtravel.com/how-to-get-to-french-ski-resorts
Key tips if youβre taking the train to the French Alps:
Tickets and schedules are usually released around 90 days before travel β set a reminder and book as soon as your dates open (Christmas & New Year sell out fast).
Gare de Lyon is split into Halls 1, 2 and 3 β the departures board tells you which hall and platform to use.
Arrive early if you have ski bags, as luggage space can be limited β renting skis in resort can make the journey much easier.

*Who is Gilles Riou from Top Snow Travel?!*
Top Snow Travel's Founder and a world-class ski enthusiast who understands the needs of a luxury ski holiday.
His expertise comes from having skied at more than 70 SKI RESORTS around the world, including Canada, the USA, Australia, New Zealand, Switzerland, and more than 40 different ski resorts in FRANCE alone.
Not only has he explored the French Alps while on holidays from his current home in Australia, he has also spent much of his childhood & adolescence on these remarkable mountains.
From just 2 years old until he was 15, Gilles was fortunate enough to visit his family-owned home at a ski resort in the French Alps called ValfrΓ©jus. Every school holiday, his loved ones and himself would leave their home in Paris and enjoy the atmosphere and excitement of this stunning mountain region. It was here that he developed a sincere love for the sport of skiing, as well as a wealth of knowledge regarding the best places to stay and ski. These memories stayed with him long after he moved to Australia as a teen.
After school, Gilles spent the first decade of his career working in the travel and tourism industry selling worldwide ski holidays to the Australian market. However, Gilles knew he had more to offer so he decided to venture out on his own.
"In 2015, Top Snow Travel was created to give fellow Aussies the incredible experience of elite skiing on some of the very best slopes in the world. My desire to share this passion with others is just one of the reasons Top Snow Travel is a top-rated ski travel company today"

In this video, i'm staying at the 5***** Residence Daria-I Nor in Alpe d'huez. Alpe dβHuez is a bustling resort all year round. The main village sits at 1869m in the centre of the Oisans region in the French Alps. This is a high altitude resort, with its highest point, at 3300m on the Pic Blanc glacier. Alpe d'Huez is the sunniest ski resort in France, with 300 days of sunshine every year, earning the nickname of βlβIsle au Soleilβ or The Island in the Sun.
There are many reasons why skiers and snowboarders flock to Alpe dβHuez each winter, and in this video review, we will go through what to expect, what to do and where to stay.

*Who is Gilles Riou from Top Snow Travel?!*
Top Snow Travel's Founder and a world-class ski enthusiast who understands the needs of a luxury ski holiday.
His expertise comes from having skied at more than 70 SKI RESORTS around the world, including Canada, the USA, Australia, New Zealand, Switzerland, and more than 40 different ski resorts in FRANCE alone.
Not only has he explored the French Alps while on holidays from his current home in Australia, he has also spent much of his childhood & adolescence on these remarkable mountains.
From just 2 years old until he was 15, Gilles was fortunate enough to visit his family-owned home at a ski resort in the French Alps called ValfrΓ©jus. Every school holiday, his loved ones and himself would leave their home in Paris and enjoy the atmosphere and excitement of this stunning mountain region. It was here that he developed a sincere love for the sport of skiing, as well as a wealth of knowledge regarding the best places to stay and ski. These memories stayed with him long after he moved to Australia as a teen.
After school, Gilles spent the first decade of his career working in the travel and tourism industry selling worldwide ski holidays to the Australian market. However, Gilles knew he had more to offer so he decided to venture out on his own.
"In 2015, Top Snow Travel was created to give fellow Aussies the incredible experience of elite skiing on some of the very best slopes in the world. My desire to share this passion with others is just one of the reasons Top Snow Travel is a top-rated ski travel company today"

This time i'm experiencing paragliding with Akènefly in Alpe d'Huez. Unfortunately , the weather conditions weren't really nice but still had a great experience and beautiful views.
Alpe d'Huez ski resort | Filmed January 2024 | Paragliding
For a nice sunny paragliding winter experience, checkout my Paragliding video in Les Arcs: youtube.com/watch?v=EAfcVy95a4E
Pretty much anyone can paraglide, from little kids to grand parents as long as you can ski blue beginner runs and straight approximately 10-15 metres for the take off (for snowboarding intermediate level is recommended).
You get an amazing view of the overall ski area within that valley, take in the fresh air and relax in a reasonably comfortable seat.

*Who is Gilles Riou from Top Snow Travel?!*
Top Snow Travel's Founder and a world-class ski enthusiast who understands the needs of a luxury ski holiday.
His expertise comes from having skied at more than 70 SKI RESORTS around the world, including Canada, the USA, Australia, New Zealand, Switzerland, and more than 40 different ski resorts in FRANCE alone.
Not only has he explored the French Alps while on holidays from his current home in Australia, he has also spent much of his childhood & adolescence on these remarkable mountains.
From just 2 years old until he was 15, Gilles was fortunate enough to visit his family-owned home at a ski resort in the French Alps called ValfrΓ©jus. Every school holiday, his loved ones and himself would leave their home in Paris and enjoy the atmosphere and excitement of this stunning mountain region. It was here that he developed a sincere love for the sport of skiing, as well as a wealth of knowledge regarding the best places to stay and ski. These memories stayed with him long after he moved to Australia as a teen.
After school, Gilles spent the first decade of his career working in the travel and tourism industry selling worldwide ski holidays to the Australian market. However, Gilles knew he had more to offer so he decided to venture out on his own.
"In 2015, Top Snow Travel was created to give fellow Aussies the incredible experience of elite skiing on some of the very best slopes in the world. My desire to share this passion with others is just one of the reasons Top Snow Travel is a top-rated ski travel company today"

You will find an incredible range of hotels, apartments, chalets not to mention a very lively après-ski scene which is one of the best in the French Alps (over 80 restaurants, 30 bars and 4 night clubs).
With a high altitude at 1,850m, Val d'Isère is snow guarantee during the winter season from end of November until 01 May thanks to its geographical location and by having the snow factory, the largest artifical snow making system in Europe.

If you're new to my channel, my name is Gilles Riou. I'm the founder and general manager at Top Snow Travel, a multi-million dollar luxury ski travel agency providing exceptional and seamless France ski holidays.
I'm half French, half Aussie and i'm passionate about the Mountains both in winter and summer all around the world and in particular the French Alps which is where i spent my winter & summer holidays growing up in Paris until i was 15yrs old before moving to Australia.
This channel is all about the best possible France ski travel experiences. From vlogs, to tips & tricks, luxury accommodation reviews, mountain restaurants, exceptional winter activities, ski resort reviews, & sooo much more.
In this video, i'm staying at the NEW 5***** Voulez-Vous Hotel in Tignes Le Lac, one of 5 villages that make up Tignes Ski Resort. Tignes Le Lac is the main resort on the banks of a large lake, at an altitude of 2100m.
One of the main advantages of staying at Le Lac is easy access to the slopes. There is also a wide range of bars and restaurants to enjoy for après and in the evenings.
Voulez-Vous Hotel is a nice five-star hotel located just steps away from the slopes which leads you straight to the heart of Tignes Le Lac and all the main lifts.
After a day exploring the expansive ski area, guests can take full advantage of the hotel spa. You can enjoy the indoor pool, sauna, hammam and gym.

This unique winter experience is cocktail of snowmobilling and dirt bike while being silent and 100% Electric.
Fast and silent! But what is it?
The Moon bike was born in the French Alps between 2015 and 2018, this new 100% electric mode of travel on snow answers a simple question: why in summer, means of transport are infinite while in winter soft mobility in snowy environments is very limited.
Nicolas, its inventor, imagined an ultra-light, powerful machine capable of moving effortlessly on snow. It had to be almost silent and, given his love of nature and outdoor activities, it had to have as low an environmental impact as possible.
The solution: an electric motor, and all 100% French!
Enjoy the video!

Tignes Val Claret is a humming village thanks to its amenities. But its location puts it right in the middle of all the action. Here, you can get all the way up to the Grande Motte glacier, which is open for summer skiing too.
Similar to Tignes Le Lac, Tignes Val Claret is not particularly pretty but has a really good high altitude location with an easy access to the Val d'Isère skiarea. The skiing from here is amazing, and with a unique range of winter activities on offer such as Moonbike (NEW 100% Electric Snow Bike), BUN J RIDE (bunjy jumping with skis), Microflights (ultra light motorized aircrafts like micro planes) just to name a few....
Tignes Val Claret is definitely the best village for après and nightlife.

Tignes Les BreviΓ¨res is the prettiest of the 5 villages of Tignes. The traditional wooden clad buildings have a charm that the other villages donβt have. It is nestled in Tignes next to the Isere river that leads to the Chevril dam. The village is made up of little bistros and a handful of shops, giving it an authentic Savoyard feel. Even if you donβt stay here, it is worth going to, as it is a great lunch stop.

Tignes 1800 is the quietest village of Tignes and located at a lower altitude. This is the first village you see after the dam and is currently going through a massive renovation. A large part of Tignes 1800 is the MGMβs Eco-resort, which was completed in 2014. This is becoming more popular with guests thanks to the renovation of accommodations and their slightly lower price.
Tignes 1800 mainly has 3 and 4-star ski-in ski-out Residences which are perfectly suited for families. You will also find a handfull of stunning luxury chalets if you know where to look.
Tignes 1800 has maintained the traditional look with wood and stone buildings make it a lot nicer on the eye compared to the higher ski resorts of Tignes Val Claret or certyain parts of Tignes Le Lac & Lavachet.

Welcome to Tignes with its 5 villages that make up Tignes Ski Resort. Tignes Le Lac is the main resort on the banks of a large lake, at an altitude of 2100m which is where i will be staying for the week in 2 different 5***** hotels: Les Suites du Montana which is old and rustic and the NEW Voulez-Vous Hotel.
Tignes is located in one of the best ski areas in France. Its high altitude gives Tignes a more extended winter than many French ski resorts and makes it a very snow-sure destination
In this video, i will go through everything you need to know about Tignes.

If you're new to my channel, my name is Gilles Riou. I'm the founder and general manager at Top Snow Travel, a multi-million dollar luxury ski travel agency providing exceptional and seamless France ski holidays.
I'm half French, half Aussie and i'm passionate about the Mountains both in winter and summer all around the world and in particular the French Alps which is where i spent my winter & summer holidays growing up in Paris until i was 15yrs old before moving to Australia.
This channel is all about the best possible France ski travel experiences. From vlogs, to tips & tricks, luxury accommodation reviews, mountain restaurants, exceptional winter activities, ski resort reviews, & sooo much more.
This time i'm staying at the 5***** Hotel Les Suites du Montana in Tignes Le Lac, one of 5 villages that make up Tignes Ski Resort. Tignes Le Lac is the main resort on the banks of a large lake, at an altitude of 2100m.
One of the main advantages of staying at Le Lac is easy access to the slopes. There is also a wide range of bars and restaurants to enjoy for après and in the evenings.
Hotel Les Suites du Montana is a nice five-star hotel located in Tignes Le Lac with ski-in ski-out access via the Almes blue slope which leads you straight to the heart of Tignes Le Lac and all the main lifts.
After a day exploring the expansive ski area, guests can take full advantage of the hotel spa. You can enjoy the indoor pool, sauna, hammam and gym.

*Who is Gilles Riou from Top Snow Travel?!*
Top Snow Travel's Founder and a world-class ski enthusiast who understands the needs of a luxury ski holiday.
His expertise comes from having skied at more than 70 SKI RESORTS around the world, including Canada, the USA, Australia, New Zealand, Switzerland, and more than 40 different ski resorts in FRANCE alone.
Not only has he explored the French Alps while on holidays from his current home in Australia, he has also spent much of his childhood & adolescence on these remarkable mountains.
From just 2 years old until he was 15, Gilles was fortunate enough to visit his family-owned home at a ski resort in the French Alps called ValfrΓ©jus. Every school holiday, his loved ones and himself would leave their home in Paris and enjoy the atmosphere and excitement of this stunning mountain region. It was here that he developed a sincere love for the sport of skiing, as well as a wealth of knowledge regarding the best places to stay and ski. These memories stayed with him long after he moved to Australia as a teen.
After school, Gilles spent the first decade of his career working in the travel and tourism industry selling worldwide ski holidays to the Australian market. However, Gilles knew he had more to offer so he decided to venture out on his own.
"In 2015, Top Snow Travel was created to give fellow Aussies the incredible experience of elite skiing on some of the very best slopes in the world. My desire to share this passion with others is just one of the reasons Top Snow Travel is a top-rated ski travel company today"

In this video, i'm in Tignes Le Lac, one of 5 villages that make up Tignes Ski Resort. Tignes Le Lac is the main resort on the banks of a large lake, at an altitude of 2100m. It consists of mainly high-rise hotels and apartment blocks with some chalets scattered around. One of the main advantages of staying at Le Lac is easy access to the slopes. There is also a wide range of bars and restaurants to enjoy for après and in the evenings.
Tignes Le Lac isn't the most picturesque resort due to the style of the buildings. But look beyond that, and you will see that it is in a stunning setting, is very convenient and provides its visitors with many fun things to do.
