Easy family walks in Valmorel

Easy walks in Valmorel: choosing a family outing

Compare walks in Valmorel, Les Bachals, Ronchat and Doucy by distance, ascent and starting point, then plan a stay in our studio for four.

Choose a walk for the least experienced person in your group. These four options range from a short resort stroll to a half-day hike. Official route distances do not include the journey from the studio to the starting point.

Four walks to compare

La Belle balade · in the resort

2 km · about +20 m

The path connects La Forêt, near La Grange aux Fées, with Crève-Cœur, near Cheval Blanc. A useful first stroll: allow for the return and access from wherever you start.

Map and details ↗

Les Bachals · from Crève-Cœur

7 km · indicative time 2 hr 30 · +300 m

The official start is outside the Cheval Blanc residence. This woodland loop suits families already used to walking; allow extra time for the climb and breaks.

Map and details ↗

Ronchat loop · Nâves valley

4.2 km · indicative time 1 hr 30 · +177 m

Rated very easy, this loop starts in Ronchat village. It is a separate road journey from Valmorel, which must be planned in addition to the walk.

Map and details ↗

La Grande Forêt · Doucy

6.8 km · indicative time 3 hr · +377 m

Travel to Doucy for the start. The official easy rating includes a steep climb back to the resort: choose it for active walkers rather than a first short outing.

Map and details ↗

Easy does not always mean short or suitable for pushchairs

Read the elevation profile, ground conditions and return route as well as the distance. Published walking times are estimates; add stops and the children’s pace. Check the precise route with the tourist office if you need pushchair access. None of these suggestions guarantees step-free or pushchair access.

Two walking days from the studio

Start by exploring Crève-Cœur, the village and La Belle balade. If everyone is comfortable, choose Les Bachals on another morning with plenty of time to return. Ronchat and Doucy offer alternatives if you have transport; staying locally avoids turning a gentle outing into a long transfer.

Some higher routes can use a summer lift, subject to opening and tickets. Check both the walk and the journey back before choosing this option.

Choose for the season and the conditions

These suggestions concern snow-free walking. Recheck locally after snow, heavy rain or ice; winter walking and snowshoeing require their own route information. Carry water, food, sun protection and a layer suited to the forecast, and keep the option to turn back.

Alternate a longer walk with a lighter day. Our trail-running guide has separate routes: running times must not be used as hiking times.
