Val Thorens Reviews & Ratings

Fantastic hotel options with the town, almost all fully or near ski-in ski-out. More terrain than you can ski in a week with amazing off piste options too. Always snow sure. Highly recommend Hotel Tango.

Overall a great place to visit - particularly if you dont want to hire a car and want to ski more cheaply. I reccomend

I went with family for a 50th and had a great time. It was my first time skiing so it was very fresh and scary when I first arrived. But overall experience was amazing and I am thinking about booking again next year.

Lovely resort been here 3 times. Normally come to val thorens around Easter due to the elevation of the resort and being worried about snow. If you go skiing at the end of the season, VT is the place for you, great snow even at the end of the season.

Top tip: make sure you get a three valleys lift pass to enable you to explore the other two valleys as there is great skiing there

Had an amazing time in Val Thorens great mix of everything from apres to pistes and a pint, will defo be going again

Val Thorens has lots of ski runs to try out. I would definitely recommend getting the 3 valleys lift pass so you can explore the biggest ski area in Europe. Val Thorens has great accommodation options for ski in and ski out and varied apres ski places and events.

Great lift access to 3 valleys and 100s of KM of runs . You never need to ski the same run twice in a day !

Love the resort, great altitude and snow. Three valleys ski pass upgrade is well worth it and will keep you exploring all week. Great variety in terms of the terrain, centre can get busy but plenty of places to escape the crowds. Don't forget about the 4th valley Orelle for a long blue. Believe Peclet lift stays open late one evening a week for the sunset ski, and also accesses a skiable ice cave with a little off piste.

The highest ski resort in Europe and also the largest ski piste terrain when taking into account the 3 valleys. Multiple piste catering to all levels. Served by fast and efficient chairlift and gondola. Because of this, it is a popular destination and gets fairly crowded especially during holiday season. It is also a fairly long 3 hour airport transfer. There is also no tree line skiing unless you go to lower elevation at courchevel.

Great music scene and fun bars / clubs.

Val Thorens is situated in the Three Valleys which is the largest skiable area of any resort in the world! Enabling you to traverse great distances and back provided the weather is good enough which offers some fantastic exploring and adventurous opportunities!

Its one of my favourite places to ski in the world and have recently been find myself returning more and more frequently.

Great resort! Went there with my university and had a great time. Apres ski was really fun, and a very safe route home for those concerned about skiing after a few drinks

Skiing was really good accommodation can be limited at certain times of year busy periods. Ski lifts with okay lift waits due to size of resort. Lots of food and drink options

Second time skiing, first time skiing confidently at this resorts. Great mix of runs and options for 3 valleys pass. Good food, great apres options and very helpful ski school instructors

I went with. Friend Im early thirties make and he is late 20s . Great vibe in the resort. Skiing and snow was good, can get busy in the afternoons but lots of runs to choose so able to avoid easily. Some runs were a little icy (went in January) but lots of powder on a couple of days (stayed a week). We really enjoyed the apres in VT - bar 360 was a little over rated, huge line to get in. La Foulie Douce up one of the pistes was the place to be. Unreal DJ and atmosphere. All in all would highly recommend VT. Quite a young crowd in places but has something for everyone.

I came here for a uni trip as a total beginner, was a great place to be a beginner but also had plenty for my friends who were more advanced. Apres was also awesome!

I have been to val Thorens the past 3 years and skiied to Corchavel too this ski area is massive and fun to get around on! Slopes are great deffo not a good place to go if you are a begginer!

The bars are quite student/ski season friendly but not really anywhere for a nice cocktail- that I have found!

Great night out in Malaysia !!

Spent a week with a group of friends (mix of boarders and skiers) in Feb 2024, had an amazing time. Varying abilities with runs that suited all ability types. First runs to the lifts were hectic, but settled down after the morning rush. Better snow than Méribel when we were there for the more common runs.

Val Thorens has always been one of the crown jewels in the French Alps: Europe's highest ski resort and part of the extensive Three Valleys ski area. For skiers and snowboarders, the terrain is undeniably excellent. Its high altitude means the snow conditions are usually very good, and there's a wide variety of runs catering to all levels of ability, from gentle greens to steep, challenging blacks. Lift infrastructure is modern and efficient, and miles of pistes are accessible without long waits.

But while the skiing is superb, it often feels as if the main attraction of the resort is its legendary après-ski and nightlife. Val Thorens has acquired a reputation as the party capital of the Alps, and it is clear that many visitors come as much for the atmosphere as for the slopes. Bars like La Folie Douce offer a special combination of mountain views and daytime raucous parties with live DJs, dancing on tables, and champagne showers all but expected. Then comes the evening, at which time the energy shifts to clubs like Malaysia-one of the biggest nightclubs in the Alps-parties go into the early morning hours.

Back to the lively atmosphere is related-the darker side of having a place, which might just not be every body's cup of tea; to families and to anyone just loving a quiet holiday in the mountains, it could overloading-the whole Val Thorens' scene. That said, if ever you want this kind of place where you do ski hard every day and yet party harder after sundown, then Val Thorens really is tough to beat. Do expect some hangovers on the mountain first thing in the morning, of course!

First ski trip, slopes were very busy with a lot of more advanced skiers on blue and green runs which was a little frustrating as a beginner. Great apres scene! Just quite expensive.

Best skiing in Europe with access to the three valleys you wont run out of places to ski. Amazing restaurants and spread ski!
