Val Thorens Reviews & Ratings

Great high altitude resort all round, but when in poor weather, it really can heavily impact operations. Love it early/late season for this reason!

Visited Val Thorens as a pure beginner.
Facilities here are un matched, the lifts are amazing, piste's are well marked and groomed, plenty of mountain bars and coffee stops on the piste.

The beginner runs/greens are exactly that and perfect for 1st timers, quite a few reds and some challenging blacks.
A plethora of blue runs but it did seem that some of these blues were essentially red runs re labelled to ensure the resort had a fair number of each available. Still plenty of blues but some were certainly on the more challenging side.

For the apres ski it's fantastic, although be aware of the folie douce, if you aren't that confident skiing, good luck getting back from there.

I would never turn down the option to go VT, it's got everything.

Spent a week in a guided off piste/ trekking group with esf guide. Amazing guiding, pushed us all and gave good teaching. All avalanche gear provided making lessons easy. Unbelievable powder conditions (early April) and off piste. Amazing apres, bar snesko, folie douce, bar 360 were favourites. Club med is amazing with amazing food and drinks.

Guaranteed snow every time, what's not to like. Plenty of slopes for the intermediate skier. We had a great time

We always return to VT because of the great skiing, variety of accommodation, amazing nightlife/anprés and easy access to the other two resorts making up the three valleys. Its also very reliable for snow since its the highest resort in Europe. If theres no snow in Val Thorens, then theres no snow anywhere !

Val Thoren was a fabulous resort to ski. Bars in resort were great for apres ski. Snow was great and runs well posted.

Val Thorens is a great choice for a group ski trip, there is something for everyone. Its never far to the slopes and you can easily do a week just on a local pass ensuring you explore Orelle or upgrade to the three valleys for even more variety. The apres scene is great, my favourite being Cafe Snesko.

We decided on Val Thorens, as we wanted our short four day stay / 3 days ski to be snow sure. We also wanted to stay at the resort, in order to experience the apres ski; wed spent a day there in the past but had to get the last lifts out of there early.

Two out of three of our days were tough, with very heavy snow, no shelter and very few lifts or runs able to run. The apres ski in these conditions was almost non-existent. It created an incredible experience, but it did hinder our skiing and partying! (This was the risk we took, well aware it could happen)

The third day, after the storm passed, produced one of the best days ever! Stunning views, incredible snow and some amazingly well groomed runs. The reds on this day remained quiet when they finally opened, whilst the blue runs throughout our stay had been extremely busy, with lots of large lessons and beginners.

We love Three Valleys, and we will be back. Im not sure if we will stay in Val Thorens again though, although I feel like perhaps we need to give it another chance. Its a very weather dependant resort due to the exposure and height, so do bare that in mind if you have the luxury of booking with short notice.

Amazing ski school for kids and adults, the pistes are well looked after and staff across the board are amazing. Cost for food and drinks is the most expensive I have experienced in a resort however! Only disappointment is the resort has a big problem with organised ski theft, the resort does nothing to inform new comers of this threat, nor do the police or resort do anything to prevent or target this

Went skiing for the first time here with a singles group, the accommodation was great (Cheval Blanc) ski in ski out, right next to area where we had ski classes which were great! Instructor was amazing, really picked it up and did blue runs by day 3. Great location, apres ski and food. Would recommend.

Learnt to ski here and it was amazing!

The ski school was friendly, although the classes were large and sometimes slightly unorganised.

There were lots of choices for restaurants, après, and clubs. The price of food was reasonable (for skiing).

The atmosphere was great during events yet during the day you could find secluded slopes.

The only downside was that beginner slopes and rental shops were extremely busy in December.

We LOVE Val Thorens!! The altitude makes it snow sure, part of 3V gives you the flexibility to venture further afield if you want. Weve stayed in Courchevelle, but VT is definitely best for us, weve returned year on year! I even prefer to Whistler!! Then choice of runs gives every a fantastic choice no matter what their ability, but then you have the zip wite, the toboggan tun, the ice-rally cars, so whatever your preference, theres something for you! If you prefer to go for a cheaper accommodation you dont need to miss out on a spa experience with the fabulous new pool! Food is amazing no mater if you eat lunch up the mountain or at a re In town!
Best ski resort!! Hands down!!

The highest resort in Europe so useful when snow is not 100% very posh with expensive accommodations and hotels but a compact town with skiing surrounding it at every corner so lots of ski in ski out.. I highly recommend because the Trois valles is massive

Val Thorens was a fantastic ski resort with plenty of piste /off piste options. Due to the high altitude the snow quality stays great through out the season so there is plenty of time to explore the massive ski area . Even though it's considered quite an expensive resort I would 100% go back as it is more than worth it

Great skiing big resort, lots of nice runs good amount of bars and nightlife would return again in the near future

Brilliant time in VT in March. Great snow. Brilliant access to a lot of runs because of links to Les 3 Valles. Apres ski was a lot of fun. Definitely more pricy than a lot of other European ski resorts.

Overall lovely resort with something for everyone, definitely suited for intermediates, but lots of off piste stuff too! The ice cave is back this year so definitely check it out.

When the weather was good this was such a brilliant resort. There was a huge variety of slopes, bars and restaurants, along with other activities too.

The only disappointment was the lack of black runs, as the only open ones were not pisted.

Overall, I really enjoyed the resort and would recommend.

Great ski resort, went with my uni and had a great time. Lots of skiing area and plenty of bars. But expensive but definitely worth an experience. Would recommend for all ages and different levels of ski ability.

One of the heights resorts in Europe guaranteed snow and a long season. Great variety of skiing and you can spend the holiday and never ski the same run twice if you choose. No trees in the resort as it is above the tree line and can get close ld down with white outs but a great place for all the family.
