Skiing Three Valleys. Les 3 Vallées

This is Europe's highest resort village at 2300m in the savoy region of the French Alps - and is a magnet for snow. Renowned for the quality of its snow and up-to-the-minute ski lifts, welcome to snowsports paradise. Carving, off-piste, ski touring, snowpark, boardercross, telemark skiing, there's something to suit everyone. With 99% of the ski area situated above 2,000 metres, Val Thorens offers excellent conditions so you can enjoy yourself to the max.

A doorstep skiing resort; ski out of your accommodation and you're already on the slopes! Between its powder snow fields and perfectly groomed runs, performance doesn't even come into it; the Val Thorens ski area offers great snowsports to beginners and experienced skiers alike, whatever their ability level!

The ideal playground for mountain lovers, the ski area lets you enjoy exceptional views, notably the grandiose spectacle of the legendary Glacier de Peclet from the Cime de Caron, the most beautiful view in the Alps, a breath-taking 360 degree panoramic view over more than 100 Alpine summits (French, Swiss and Italian).
