The Skiers' Guide to Val Thorens

The skiing in val thorens was lush, so many beautiful views and the ski school was exceptional. The bus was very efficient too

Theres a bit of everything here! The pistes are good as the snow is reliable, theres fun apres ski and loads of places to eat. We decided not to rent a car and it was the right decision as many things are within walking distance. It can also get crowded but we researched a little and if you head over early and to some of the less popular pistes (like Gentiane) youll have a great time!

Beautiful resort! We skied this as part of a trip to 3 vallees and it did not disappoint. Great variation in run difficulty, somewhat busy in afternoons during school holidays but not off putting. Food was delicious on the hill. Snow quality was just okay when we were there in mid-Feb. not much powder

My family and I absolutely loved skiing in Val Thorens! We had a great week there, as a beginner it was great to have so many options of beginner friendly runs, whilst some of my other family members did the harder runs. We thought the atmosphere was great, loved the accommodation and we would definitely love to go back!

Great I thoroughly enjoyed the pares and the groomed pistes. Also the food selection is unmatched, however the prices where quite steep

Brilliant resort all round, with an easily accessible and huge ski area with lots of variety, Apres scene is a lot of fun.

This is a resort we will always love and return to - the altitude makes the snow consistent and the night life is of course fantastic!

The Mecca of ski resorts with all you could want it’s great for family and hardcore riders.
The vast variety of slopes enables all levels to push yourself, the village it self has everything to offer such an amazing location with plenty of activities throughout it can’t wait to come back .

Great place will 100% be going back.
Apres is brilliant. Runs are great for all abilities. Lots of lifts to different areas of the resort

For me the best place to ski and to enjoy winter time. Great slopes, great snow quality, nice off slope

Loved the amount of slopes here. The issue was there wasn’t a great deal of fresh snow on our trip but the resort looked after the slopes incredibly all things considered.

Resort has a big ski area as you can extend lift pass to Courchevel and Maribel. Great aprés and night life and affordable accomodation options.

First ski trip for a friends birthday. Blown away…beautiful scenery, amazing hotel (marielle) and endless skiing choices! Would return in a heartbeat!

Val Thorens is absolutely beautiful, serene and quiet.
The apres is fun though not much something I did as I was too busy exploring runs!
Really lovely, chilled out resort with some real party scenes.

Great resort for all ages and abilities! I have been several times, most recently on a boys' trip, and it serves all needs.

We had a great time in Val Thornes, slopes were quiet only downside a little pricey for food and drinks

A great selection of pistes for all abilities and well connected resort - easy links to the three valleys! A fun après scene and good selection of restaurants, great range of accommodation options and spa facilities - suitable for mixed groups, families, friends and first time skiers!

Although I went early in the season at the start of December, the altitude ensured good snow. The apres was great, with an easy run that was lit on the way back to town. Very little alpine charm but the size of the interconnected resort means the skiing is some of the best in Europe.

The best resort to go to with a group of friends. Great accomodation options. Great staff. Great food. Great time.

So I have stayed in the 3 valleys twice now, once in Val Thorens and once in Meribel. I believe its the biggest ski area in the world. Val Thorens is big enough on its own to keep anyone busy for a week if you just have a local ski pass or you can upgrade to the 3 valley pass to access all areas ( which we always do ) you pay a higher price for everything here but once youve been here you'll understand why..I love the wide open runs, there's do many to chose from, it caters for all levels here, the snow parks are amazing and even if its not your thing its pretty cool to just hang around watch some of the experienced people doing their tricks, its like watching something out of the Olympics! The apres here is amazing and obviously La Folie Douce is world famous where the music and atmosphere will have yoh smiling, dancing and creating amazing memories! Definitely recommend this place!
