In The Spotlight:
Val Thorens

Welcome to the Les Trois Vallées situated above the small French town of Moutiers. Immerse yourself in the highest of three linked resorts and the wide bowl of Val Thorens.

Due to its location, great snow is almost guaranteed whatever time of year you visit. With its mix of modernity and charm, you’ll immediately feel at home in this welcoming area where everything has been created for your enjoyment.

It’s a compact resort where all your needs can be catered for within easy reach. For foodies, it’s a buffet of brilliant restaurants. A lack of cars helps you enjoy the quiet majesty of the mountains with more than 100 Alpine summits standing to attention as you gaze in all directions.

For non-skiers, there’s also plenty to do. Pick up your lamp for a night time hike in the mountains, challenge yourself to a thrilling toboggan run or see if you can stay in control when driving on ice. Or why not simply sit back at one of the many bars and restaurants, take a look around and soak in the joy of nature as your every day tensions melt away like spring snow?

Your location in Val Thorens means that you have access to surrounding resorts such as Méribel and Courchevel. The question is: will you ever want to leave?

Start your descent in the largest ski area in the world with over 600 kilometres of runs. Perfect snow and the latest ski-lifts will make it the holiday of your dreams. There are few queues just great views and amazing sport in nature’s playground.

It’s hard to think of a better choice of slopes in the world. Beginners and intermediaries can test their skills on a wide range of red and blue pistes that gently run above the village. Once you find your feet then take on something more challenging such as the long and invigorating journey down to the Maurienne Valley.

For the most adventurous there’s nothing better than an off-piste adventure and the Chaviere and Peclet glaciers seem to be designed with you in mind.

You’ll be skiing straight from your doorstep to runs that have been carefully prepared for your pleasure. Or maybe today’s the day you try a cross-country challenge? Val Thorens is all about endless possibilities.
