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.

Plenty for the kids to do apres ski (ice skating, sledging etc) whilst the parents relaxed with an aperol or two!




We stayed in the apartments above the Irish bar, which were decent enough for a budget-friendly option—nothing fancy, but they did the job for a short stay in such a prime location. That said, we’ll definitely be looking to book a hotel next time to make the trip even more comfortable.
Overall, Val Thorens has easily become one of my favourite places, and we’re already planning to return next year.







The apres options are unmatched and we would recommend anyone to do folie deuce if you get the chance!
There are lots of food options and most are reasonably priced. Same with the bars!



Apres was awesome, snow was white and beer were cold.
Weather was pretty good also!
