Really nice ski zones, slightly pricey for food and accommodation otherwise great. Lots of drinking venues and a nice spa / swim area, ski lifts mostly efficient.

Val Thorens sits at 2300 meters making it the highest ski resort in the alps. Alongside it being a high town, the 3 main areas of skiing are all located above 3000m. This resort is widely known for a number of incredible features across its 150km of snowy runs. It has time and time again won the award (world ski awards) for the worlds best ski resort (2013,14,16,17,18,19). Open from late November to early May, the height of this resort ensures the locals and travelers alike can enjoy a large number of months on the snow. There are 11 ski schools in VT itself so this gives lots of options for finding the right kind of tuition for your ability and language. One of the highlights for tourists in Vt is the huge number of incredible venues to stop at along the runs for food and drink. Hosting 2 of the biggest aprés ski bars in the alps, bar 360 and Folloe Douce, you can find the exact vibe you are hoping for when it comes to the afternoon beers and tunes. If you are looking for afternoon sunshine, loud/vibrant music, the best wines and some potential champagne sprayed in your face then Folie douche is your spot. Be aware that the ski down is much more technical from Follie than Bar 360. Over in the mellow ski corner of bar 360, the sunshine dips a little earlier, however the vibes are strong. If you care less for expensive champagne and the colourful dancers, this is your place. With a fantastic production team and amazing bar staff, bar 360 hosts some of the best nights in the alps. When the light fades and everyone skis home, the night certainly does not fail. There are a huge selection of restaurants and bars in town to keep you busy after you have skied directly to your accommodation location. Smithys is a fantastic place to check out for music and Cafe snesko is the place to get loose and dance on tables into the later night. Once you have finished with the bars, why not check out Malaysia which is the 2nd largest club now in the alps. All round, VT is a little more expensive than other areas in the alps, but you pay to be a part of one of the most exciting places right now in the alps.
