What Skiers Say About Val Thorens

Val Thorens attracts a wide range of skiers and snowboarders, from beginners to experts, with many praising its high altitude for snow reliability throughout the season. The resort is part of the Three Valleys, offering extensive terrain and well-maintained pistes with efficient lifts and minimal queuing. Après-ski is consistently highlighted as lively and energetic, with popular venues like Folie Douce and Bar 360, though some note it caters more to a younger, party-focused crowd. Most accommodation is ski-in/ski-out, and reviewers appreciate the variety of runs, though several mention that food and drinks are expensive. Beginners note limited green runs and that many blues can be challenging or icy, while advanced skiers praise off-piste options and access to neighbouring valleys.

Lovely trip, stayed 7 nights. My first trip with friends rather than family and it was spectacular - the apres was amazing with djs and themes. Food was quite pricey but I suppose it always is when going skiing. Piste was immaculate. Booked a lesson and the instructor was very knowledgable and helpful. Overall, would recommend.

Lots of good restaurants and places to eat as well as good nightlife (mix of bars and clubs). Loads of moguls, so if your not a fan…

Was a very good resort that catered for all abilities, but wouldn’t recommend if the whole party was beginners. The staff on the slopes were helpful and the lifts ran smoothly. I stayed in ski in ski out accommodation and highly recommend as it made everything very easy. Vast amount of different runs I experienced as I had the three valleys lift pass which was a brilliant upgrade. Lots of shops and restaurants, with brilliant night life if that’s what interests you. Overall, it had everything and would highly recommend, would love to go back!

Val Thorens is up there with one of the best ski resorts I have visited. I have been to many but the area you can cover here is amazing. A week holiday and we explored as much as we could. Will definitely return to do some more of the runs we didn’t quite get to do.

Plenty of good food restaurants and shops. Very good nightlife also.

Staying at Val Thorens gives access to the huge 3 Vallies and easy access to the Orelle valley. Lots of off piste options.
It was very busy at New Year and lift queues were especially bad in Méribel centre. Great snow high up even if lower down was icy.

Val Thorens to this day stays as my favourite resort I’ve ever visited. The views alone are worth the trip. But on top of that, the piste and the social scene is unbelievable.

It’s such a good ski resort. Probably the best there is.
