the activities of the youth hostel of Valmeinier
The Maurienne valley in Savoie is without doubt the longest Alpine valley, stretching 120 km between Italy and the Hautes-Alpes. It abounds in treasures, mythical passes and authentic villages. These include Valmeinier 1500, where the youth hostel is located. Located at the foot of the slopes in winter, you have access to the Galibier Thabor ski area with its 90 runs for all levels. Looking for other activities? Don’t worry, try your hand at snowtubing, brake sledding or the Big Air Bag. Then in summer, this exceptional setting is transformed and you can observe the flora and fauna of the Alps. Nature lovers, hikers, cyclists, trail runners… there’s something for everyone.
