Resort Description

At an altitude of 2300 metres, France’s modern, purpose-built resort of Val Thorens is the highest in Europe!

Val Thorens is part of the Three Valleys circuit, with access to neighbouring Courcheval and Meribel. You can enjoy some of the world’s most amazing sun drenched skiing with minimal queuing! Beginners will gain confidence on the gentle slopes. Val Thorens is an intermediate’s paradise with an infinite choice of pistes to explore. Experts will relish the challenges of some hair-raising descents and Courcheval’s infamous couloirs. Val Thorens is a snowboarder’s playground with quality tuition, exciting runs for all levels and a dedicated board park.

There’s informal, lively après-ski in Val Thorens and quieter alternatives if you prefer a more relaxed evening. Tempting international cuisine is served in the restaurants.

Away from the pistes, why not enjoy a fascinating excursion to Innsbruck or Salzburg?
You can take in the panoramic view with a hand gliding flight, sleigh ride or winter walk. The sports centre offers an excellent range of sports, including swimming, gym, a climbing wall, trampolines, tennis and squash. Afterwards relax in the sauna and jacuzzi.
