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.

Up there with the very best resorts we’ve visited in Europe. Great ski area with a bit of everything you could want as an intermediate snowboarder, great apres, good hotels, and one of the more snow-sure areas around. Would well recommend to anyone of any level.

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!

Amazing resort, great number of runs and lifts. Love that you can travel across all the valleys. Whilst the resort itself has a family friendly feel, the runs can get very busy around each resort directly, so may make it more nerve wracking for young ones to learn. Overall, a great resort however.

It snowed a foot almost every night when we were there. I was off the piste and off the hook! The food was great every where we ate, our condo was well designed and comfortable.

I have loved visiting this resort, it has been such an amazing place to learn and such an amazing place to party at afterwards. It's accessible but by no means easy for more experienced skiers
