Val Thorens - located at a height of 2300 meters - is the highest ski resort in Europe. Thanks to this impressive altitude, the village and ski area are guaranteed to have snow until the beginning of May. But that's not all: Val Thorens is part of Les Trois Vallées, the largest interconnected ski area in the world with 600 km of slopes. And around the village itself, there are already 140 km of slopes to explore with your ski pass. In short, whether you're a beginner or an advanced skier, Val Thorens is a top destination!
As the sun sets, the après-ski in Val Thorens comes to life. The French village is known for its lively après-ski and nightlife, where you can end the day with a drink and a dance. A popular après-ski hotspot is the well-known 'La Folie Douce,' located on the blue Plein Sud slope. The party starts around 3:00 PM, often with a DJ and saxophonist. The music can be heard throughout the area, drawing skiers and snowboarders from all corners for a final party on the mountain.
Val Thorens offers plenty of opportunities for adrenaline junkies. Freeriders can enjoy the vast off-piste areas, while freestylers can have a blast in the large snowpark. The park features numerous jumps and rails at various levels, allowing both beginners and advanced riders to have fun and improve their skills.
Val Thorens is not the ideal destination for cross-country skiers. There is only one trail that winds through a treeless slope, which crosses the slopes. The options for hikers are also limited, but there is an alternative: you can join a snowshoeing hike led by a guide. It’s a unique way to explore the stunning mountains of Val Thorens.
The center of Val Thorens is car-free, which contributes to the peace and enjoyment of the village. Upon arrival and departure, you can temporarily load and unload your luggage for your chalet or apartment. After that, you will need to park your car in your accommodation's parking garage (if available) or a nearby public parking lot. Please note that parking costs are approximately €70 per week.
