The quintessential ski resort
Val Thorens is rated as one of the best winter sports resorts in France and indeed in Europe. It has many advantages. As the continent's highest ski resort at an altitude of 2,300 m, it is snow sure all year round. Val Tho is largely car-free, which lends the resort a warm, friendly and relaxing feel. Finally, opening onto the 3 Vallées ski area, a detail for you, but for us it means a lot, since it offers access to over 600 km of pistes!
In addition to these advantages, the resort of Val Thorens has many strings to its bow. It caters equally well to young visitors seeking to dance the afternoon away at La Folie Douce, as it does for families keen to teach their kids to ski and then unwind in the evenings.
Val Thorens is brimming with activities, with a few surprises in store. Try your hand at snow karting and drift like a pro. Combine sports and rambling with a mountain biking experience on the snow. Also available to try in this resort: Nordic skiing, snowshoeing outings and skating. And when you need to relax after a day's action on the pistes, unwind in one of the wellness centres in Val Thorens.
Slopes
Val Thorens enjoys a fortunate location at the entrance to a spectacular ski area: the 3 Vallées. Viewed as the world's largest ski area, it boasts nearly 600 km of slopes. Val Thorens alone makes up almost one quarter of the 3 Vallées. All skiers can progress at their level, both young and old, from beginner to advanced, athletic to leisurely.
In addition to the dizzying number of pistes, there are a number of snowparks to practice freestyling, or you could try your hand at carving. Cross-country skiers are also catered to, with gorgeous trails taking you through amazing scenery.
