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.

Beautiful resort with great variety of slopes along with any other needs. Beautiful and scenic, it's very hard to find a resort that is all rounded like VT (except lack of tree runs if that's what you're after). Access to 3Vs is excellent, and you will have nowhere near another time to appreciate it all, inviting you back for round 2.

Visited with a group of friends February 2024 - the apres ski is amazing, Bar 360 one of the best Ive been to - better than Folie! Slopes were great and the 3 valleys pass is a must if you want to explore further. Would highly recommend the snow park.Very busy, but to be expected as a really popular resort.

Cannot not love Val. A beautiful place with beautiful skiing. Being able to ski into all of the three valleys means you will never run out of runs.

Best resort for friend trips in your 20s. Can feel a little like Ibiza on the slopes, but perfect if thats what youre looking for. A lot of uni students, not many families

Great place to ski but slightly overrun by party goers now - lots of bars and clubs in the centre of town to keep you busy.It would be great to see a better apres scene back in the town (like Tignes Coco Rico) but a great place for skiing and its height means its generally good snow throughout the season.

Great resort with a huge variety of slopes for all abilities. There are several restaurants, both on the slopes and in town. My partner is vegan and we do struggle to find things for her to eat with the option mostly being noodles so this could be better.

Val Thorens is an all time favourite of my universities for skiing. Located in the 3 Vallées. Val Thorens offers some of the best high altitude slopes and off-piste areas for skiers no matter the level. They also have numerous ski lifts, so waiting times arent too bad during peak season which is a plus. Not only are the slopes insane , but val thorens boats a vibrant après-ski scene with la folie douce & Malaysia. I personally prefer heading to Malaysia at night and la folie douche for drinks during the day as it closes at 4. But I highly recommend going to both to get the full experience! One of the best ski resorts around, you will not be dissatisfied!!

Some of my favourite mentors with my family are skiing in Val Thorne. For us personally we have a real balance so we dont ski all day. We stayed in a gorgeous spa hotel which was the perfect way to end a day of skiing. My parents are more confident skiers then me and i felt safe enough to do reds on my own as they went of to do blacks! There is something for everyone in Val Thoren, so much atmosphere and little outlets that let you do other things then being on the slopes too!

First time at VT as a group of 8, the accommodation at Residence HERMINE was perfect and had all the facilities we needed for the week. The resort was perfect with lots of options to eat and drink! Skiing was amazing, tons of snow fall and spent our days between VT and Meribel.We will return again in the future!
