Val Thorens
Culminating at 2300 meters above sea level, welcome to Val Thorens, Europe’s highest ski resort. Affectionately nicknamed « Val Tho »by those in the know, this is without a doubt the place to take your skiing experience to a whole new level.
With an extra long and snow-sure skiing season spanning from November to May, a seemingly endless array of pistes stretching above 3000m, Michelin Guide acclaimed vistas and a relaxed and convivial atmosphere, Val Thorens is hard to beat for the best in Alpine attractions.
Situated in a vast natural cirque overlooked by no fewer than 6 glaciers, this car free resort (with ample parking) is the ultimate ski-in ski-out base to enjoy the 3 Vallées: the world’s largest ski area with over 600 kilometres of runs.
Thanks to a modern and extensive network of ski lifts, access to and from the perfectly groomed slopes couldn’t be easier, for off-piste ski buffs and beginners alike.
Want to try your hand at something new? This snowsports paradise offers everything from cross-country trails and a freestyler-friendly snowpark, to snowboard cross, telemark skiing and even an ice-racing track… not forgetting France’s longest toboggan run and the world’s highest zipline!
There’s no better way to soak up the sun-drenched views of this stunning natural playground, most notably the breath-taking 360° panoramic prospect from the Cime de Caron, overlooking the legendary Glacier de Péclet and more than 100 Alpine summits (French, Italian and Swiss)! Not surprising then, that it’s been described as “the most beautiful view in the Alps”.
