Valmorel Prepares for New Alpine Hotel and Outdoor Adventures

MGallery, the boutique hotel collection of Accor’s luxury division, is preparing to launch its first mountain property in the French Alps at the Valmorel ski resort, with a planned opening in 2027. CLR Hotels, a CGR Group subsidiary known for its expertise in hospitality, wellness, dining, and cinema, is leading the brand’s first initiative in the Alps. The property seeks to immerse visitors in the surrounding mountain environment.

Guests can expect a thoughtfully designed environment that blends alpine character with contemporary comforts. The hotel provides a variety of features and design elements for guests:

• Room types: 82 rooms, with close to one-third designed as suites, all offering direct access to ski slopes.
• Location and views: Nestled at the fringe of a pine forest, providing panoramic vistas of the valley below.
• Interior design: Integrates Savoyard cultural elements with a modern aesthetic, including carved wood, stone, and tartan accents.
• Architecture and standards: Created under the guidance of Bertrand Pourrier at ABP Architectes, designed in line with RE2020 standards and pursuing BREEAM certification.
• Guest amenities: Comprises multiple dining venues, a bar, a speakeasy, a 480 m² spa with indoor and outdoor pools, a ski room, and dedicated spaces for relaxation and private screenings.

Visitors to Valmorel will also find several notable nearby attractions. The Col de la Madeleine mountain pass offers scenic alpine drives and hiking trails. The Plagne Bellecôte cable car provides access to panoramic viewpoints and high-altitude routes. Meanwhile, Lac de Roselend, a nearby reservoir, allows for nature walks and photography in a protected setting. These sites provide visitors with extra opportunities for outdoor activities during their stay.

Other destinations in close proximity include the Domaine de la Lauzière forest trails for hiking and wildlife observation, the Mont-Chavière viewpoint, offering extensive views over the Maurienne valley, and the Valmorel Adventure Park, which hosts seasonal outdoor activities for families and groups. Together, these sites provide visitors opportunities to combine alpine lodging with active exploration and natural discovery.

MGallery’s Valmorel property adds new accommodation options in the French Alps, providing modern comforts, eco-conscious features, and proximity to key sites. Guests can use the hotel as a central point for accessing surrounding scenery and recreational opportunities. Situated close to ski runs, wellness amenities, and various surrounding points of interest, the property meets the needs of families, adventure enthusiasts, and nature-focused guests. The initiative points to a growing demand for accommodations offering eco-conscious practices alongside authentic and culturally rich experiences.
