Vallorcine is a small, relatively quiet French village at the eastern end of the Chamonix Valley, just a few kilometres from the Swiss border.
Beyond Argentière is the small village of Vallorcine, accessing the Domaine de Balme ski area.
Who should stay in Le Tour
The skiing on offer in Vallorcine is ideal for beginners. It's gentle and generally sunny here, making it a good choice for families.
Combined with the spectacular views back down the Chamonix Valley, this area is well worth a visit. Just bear in mind that both villages are small, so basing yourself here means that accommodation and dining options are pretty limited.
