About Moûtiers
Moûtiers: Gateway to the Trois Vallées
Moûtiers sits at 480 m altitude in the Tarentaise Valley, Savoie, where the Isère and Doron rivers meet. The town of roughly 4,000 residents serves as the main rail and road junction for the Trois Vallées — the largest linked ski area in the world, connecting Courchevel, Méribel, and Val Thorens. The 12th-century Cathédrale Saint-Pierre anchors the compact historic centre, which retains salt-trade-era architecture from when Moûtiers controlled regional salt production.
Where to Stay
Hotels in Moûtiers offer significantly lower rates than the resort villages higher up the valley. Guests typically base here and take shuttle buses or the Tarentaise train line up to the slopes. The town suits budget-conscious skiers, families, and summer hikers heading into the Parc National de la Vanoise, whose trails begin within 20 km.
Practical Tips
- Getting here: Direct TGV and Intercités trains connect Paris Gare de Lyon to Moûtiers-Salins station in around 3.5 hours.
- Season: Ski season runs December to April; hiking season peaks July–September.
- Local transport: Shuttle buses to Courchevel and Méribel depart from the train station forecourt.
- Altitude note: Pack layers — valley temperatures drop sharply after sunset even in summer.
