The Skiers' Guide to Val Thorens

A brilliant resort with a lot of varied skiing, miles of skiing particularly if you’re skiing the whole 3 vallées. Slightly limited due to bad weather but had an amazing time!

St martin is a lovely place to stay for easy access to all 3 valleys. Staff are friendly. Lots and lots of runs, something for all levels.

Val thoren had a ton of ski runs that ranged from easy to pretty hard. The off piste was probably the best thing and it was very easily accessible. Most off piste runs were just slightly off the groomers and the snow was always so good first thing in the morning. The lifts were super efficient and I spent 2x the Time on the runs vs on the lifts

The resort is lovely, plenty of nice wide slopes that mean even if its busy the slopes dont tend to be over crowded.

plenty of places for Apre ski, plenty of activites happenign throughout seems liek there is always somethign to do :)

Would recromend for families, or group trips, the resort could honestly work for any type of holiday!

One of my favourite resorts to ski at, lots of runs in Val Thorens plus the proximity to other resorts makes this such an amazing ski area for all abilities, the different levels of runs are insane, it really is a resort for all abilities, would recommend for anyone.

Highly recommend. Spent last Christmas skiing here and the snow quality was excellent for the holiday season. The slopes were in top-tier condition, matched only by the excellent food options available.

The atmosphere is incredibly welcoming thanks to the friendly people and staff. It's the perfect spot for a winter getaway.

Val Thorens is an amazing family friendly resort with some lovely runs. Being part of the three valleys, with the correct ski pass you can ski for miles. The apres is also fun with the classic folie douce but also 360 bar which is amazing fun as well.

Great resort - something for everyone! Can get busy in peak times but plenty of slopes to use. Particularly love Orielle - quiet slopes here. Amazing apres ski, fantastic choice of places and eateries!

The best aprés ski in the world and an incredible resort with tons of skiing to be done i have been to around 35 resorts and this is by far and away the best and my absolute favorite

Val Thorens is a fantastic place if you can cope with the cost. It is situated at a high altitude which ensures snow for decent skiing. The atmostphers is probably the best part of Val T. Everyone is in good spirits and having a good time. The food is fine for a few days but average if eating out for a week. With that being said you get over it with a cold beer in the mountains.

I really enjoyed my time at val thorens, apres was my favourite I enjoyed folie douce and 360. Not only is val thorens a large ski resort it is also within three valleys which means if you upgrade your ski pass you can also go to meribel and courchevel which is even better. There are so many runs for different levels of skiers and snowboarders and food is really good but is a bit expensive. Overall I would definitely recommend and I will be returning without a doubt.

Val Tho is my favourite resort. The lift system is great and the apres ski is the best in France in my opinion. We really enjoyed dropping over to Orelle as well and found some amazing black runs there that were really quiet and well groomed. Some pistes can be busy especially on the side where people come and go to Meribel and we had some ice on these but it was still perfectly manageable. Cable car lifts can be long and not sure we’d bother again. Probably stick with the chairs next time.

great resort and snow sure, can lose days skiing however during white outs, everywhere is ski in out, good apres, can get busy but deals available outside busy school holidays, can get snowed in and transfer issues so bewary with connections

Val Thorens has something for everyone whether you are travelling on your own or with a group. A good variety of ski, accommodation, Apre Ski and Restaurants to suit everyone in your party. The best part is a snow sure ski holiday !!

I think it's a great place for a you ger crown as it has good Apres Ski also good for all levels especially beginners

Had the best time with friends and family, for a beginner I was extremely nervous but was so much fun !

I had a great trip in Val thorens.

The slopes were great, with plenty of blue bird days and guaranteed snow. The best part is there is enough piste even in just Val Thorens that you don’t have to exploit the three values if you don’t want to.

I find the only downside, which of course is not the resorts fault is the commute from the airport.

Great break for a lads holiday with great party atmosphere. Snow quality good - lift queues very little.

Was very nice resort with a good social life and really good posted and lift services. Really enjoyed my experience there and there was a good selection of hotels. There was le folie douce along with several other cafes on the mountain.

Have been visiting at least twice a year for the past 6 years and still have runs yet to try. Excellent connections to the rest of the 3 valleys, constantly adding and updating lifts. There is a good variety of beginner and advanced slopes for both skiers and boarders. The après scene is one of the best in Europe.
