Resort Information Val Thorens |
|
 |
| |
Val Thorens is the highest resort in Europe at 2300m village height and is well above the tree line - the highest of the Three Valley resorts.. This means it can be bleak and in bad weather it can experience difficulties with high winds closing lifts and pistes but on the up side it means the snow is wonderful and guaranteed at any time of the season. The village itself is tastefully built and has the typical mountain chalet style buildings - unlike some of the other very high resorts it is a welcoming place.
From Val Thorens, it is easy to get across to the other Three Valley areas - just below you'll find Les Menuires and St Martin de Belleville and over the ridge of the Mont de la Chambre you'll find Meribel and Courchevel. Val Thorens is also linked to the "Fourth Valley" - the resort of Orelle - which is located in the Maurienne Valley on the other side of the mountain. As with other Three Valley resorts, it has a varied terrain and a choice of pistes for everyone, beginners and experts alike and it also has a range of accommodation to suit most tastes and pockets.
For apres-ski, Val Thorens is livelier than most other high altitude resorts with plenty of bars, restaurants and nightclubs to choose from. There is a sport centre with swimming pool, saunas, steam room, hot tubs and a gym plus a leisure centre with a bowling alley and pool tables. Val Thorens is not a great place to go though if you're not planning to ski as daytime activities are limited.
