Welcome to Val Thorens Ski Resort

Booking a trip to Val Thorens is not only a ticket to the highest ski resort of Europe – it’s also a pass to Les Trois Vallées, the largest ski area in the world. With skiing from 2,300m to 3,200m you won’t find more reliable snow anywhere else – it’s as close to a sure bet as you’re going to get, with access to a 600km network of runs. As a purpose-built resort, the architecture isn’t quite as rustic as some of those traditional Savoie chalets, but when you can ski-in and ski-out, that’s less likely to bother you. The whole area offers an abundance of options whatever your riding style or skiing ability – plus you can get there via the night train to Moûtiers.

Best time to ski in Val Thorens

Val Thorens boasts a season that lasts almost six months, sometimes from the end of November right through to May. December can be hit and miss anywhere in the Alps but Val Thorens is more reliable than most for an early season fix. Christmas and New Year are busy – but also magical times to visit with an après scene that’s a lot of fun. January often gets the resort insider’s vote – sandwiched between peak periods it comes with reliable snow. But it can get cold! February is always busy and then as the days get longer March and April open up possibilities for coffees and lunches on the sun terraces, admiring the incredible view.

Things to do in Val Thorens

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.
