Looking for a laugh? The 6km toboggan run is a massively exciting and underrated way to descend the mountain. It begins at 3,000m and lasts for up to 45min – or for as long as you can hold on. Also suitable for children. If that doesn’t do it for you, try sliding across one of two ziplines in the resort. You could also try hitting one of the resort’s red, blue and green hiking trails or simply kick back at the end of the day and relax in one of Val Thorens’s saunas and spas.
If you’re in the party mood Val Thorens has everything from afternoon table-top stomping at La Folie Douce to live music at the Frog and Roastbeef – to a quiet traditional dinner for two at La Fondue.
