Holiday Rentals in Valloire - A Guide to Valloire
Valloire holiday rentals are located in south-eastern France, within the Savoie departement. Valloire sits at the foot of the Col du Galibier mountain pass, the natural frontier between the south and north of the Alps.
Valloire itself is just off the A43 autoroute, which runs east from the city of Lyon. This makes it easy to reach by air as there are direct flights from the UK into Lyon international and also to Turin airport which lies to the east of your holiday rentals in Valloire.
Of course you can hire a car from either airports but don’t forget to pack your snow chains during the Winter Ski Season. Have a look at our car hire guide to see how to obtain the cheapest deals on car hire in Valloire.
