<previous photo next photo>

*high altitude resort*

Val Thorens is Europe's highest ski resort providing skiers with fantastic snow and skiing conditions all season long from December right the way through to May. The village is located right at the foot of the slopes so no matter where your bed is you can roll out of it in the morning and be out on your skis in no time. The entire resort is pedestrianised (except for loading and unloading stops) making for a relaxing resort and peaceful snow covered picturesque streets. Val Thorens is located in the southerly part of the 3 Valleys or Les Trois Vallees giving direct access to one of the most expansive skiing areas in the world. The village itself, while purpose built, is picturesque, cosy, and welcoming to come back to after a long day on the slopes.

The Snow

  • highest resort in Europe with an altitude of 2,300m and with seven skiable areas above 3000m.
  • access to the 3 Valleys with a total of 600km of piste.
  • world-class ski infrastructure
  • perfect for all ski levels

Après ski

  • plenty of restaurants and popular bars one of which lays claim (most likely justifiably) as the highest pub in Europe!
  • excellent sports centre, a cinema, and weekly jazz concerts.

The Rest

  • compact resort with direct slope access from all our properties
  • great record for late season skiing
