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.

I have spent many weeks here and will keep in coming back. So many options with thrle three valleys pass. Great for piste, powder, and park. Brilliant apres and guaranteed snow because of the altitude

Went in January and the snow was crisp . All lift chairs and gondola only go up, so if youre a beginner you have to know your level and be prepared that you wont be able to get down unless you ski down. Same for going to apres or restaurants!

I have skid Val Thorens for over thirty years, I can not say it enough, this is the best resort in Europe. Snow sure right until May, Ive skid in late April with sun all day and good skiing.You dont have to spend a fortune, oizza and a drink can be had in the evenings for as little as 10 but you can also do £500 a person at the Fitz Roy hotel, this resort offers everything to everyone. The best part is virtually no lift ques, ever.Great resort

Great resort with an endless number of slopes, and the town has a lot to do with good Apres. However, the ski pass is very expensive and there could be a better efficiency for the number of people queuing for lifts and on slopes.

Great skiing on and off piste, brilliant night life, expensive but worth it due to the long season. Only cons are the price and the transfer time.

Our first ski trip and it was amazing. We went with two children aged 3 and 11. Apart from my husband who could ski, the rest of us attended ski school. It was the best first experience.

Great resort. Has been my favourite holiday of my life so far!Great apres scene and food and drinks were surprisingly affordable for such a great ski resort. Has set the bar extremely high for my next ski holiday! Lots of easily accessible off piste terrain too, although I didnt take advantage of this as I went with my friends who were complete beginners (who also thoroughly enjoyed it). Hope to be back again soon.

First time in 2024 was perfect, a lot of power and tracks were always perfectly groomed. Second time in 2025 wasnt so perfect, the fresh snow had been blown away by the wind, weather too warm and tracks werent being groomed so efficiently. We still had a good time on off piste though. The resort cant control the weather but tracks could be more well looked after and Cime Caron tram wasnt running as well the whole week, which made some other lifts more crowded.

Just back from a week in Val T. Would highly recommend a visit for all abilities. Huge area to explore, and option for 3 valleys pass if needing more. Lots of Accomodation options for ski in/out, or short walk to pistes. Good beginner areas and plenty of green runs, but can be congested. Apres ski options available for beginners with bar 360 and igloo bar, or follie douce if happy on blues+. Options for all the family with sledging etc. also available. Mountain cafes abundant, but at expected prices.

Have been to Three valleys a few times now and Val T has to be one of my favourite places. Some of the accomodation options can be a bit basic for the price but there are so many options that are ski in/out because of how the resort is laid out. Nightlife is great, food awesome but best of all the pistes around Val T are amazing with easy access to the rest of the three valleys.
