Valmeinier, located at the foot of the Mont Thabor, 3207 meters, is a medium size ski resort (about 10,000 beds). The first ski lift was built in 1973, at L'Arméra, connecting to the Valloire ski area. The village at 1,500 m started to develop with the arrival of various holiday villages (Renouveau and LVT Chemins).

In 1986, the resort at 1800 m was launched and the Gros Crey ski area equipped with lifts.

The ski area shared by the resorts of Valmeinier and Valloire has a new name: "Galibier-habor". This refers to the area's 2 emblematic summits, which peak at more than 3,000 metres. The first ski lift was installed in 1973, in L'Arméra, in order to join up with Valloire, which had already been operating for a few years. Gradually, the ski area expanded and it now features 150 km of slopes over 1,600 hectares. The snowpark, classified as 5th French snowpark and 15th European, is certified by the French Snowboard Association (AFS). It is tended daily by the resort's staff.
