About Valfréjus
Valfréjus is small, north-facing and heavily forested, which is an unusual combination in the Maurienne and a very useful one: the snow keeps its quality, and the trees give definition when the weather closes in.
It sits directly above Modane, on the road and rail line to Italy through the Fréjus tunnel, which makes it one of the easiest French resorts to reach from Turin.
