Going on a ski trip to Val Thorens for your ski holidays is making the choice of great quality snow, guaranteed from the end of November to mid-may thanks to the altitude. To add to that, whatever the location of your chalet or apartment in the resort, you could, after having rented your skis in one of the Skiset shops, go to the pistes, skis in hand, and go and have fun on the grand 3 Vallées easily and with no time wasting. The ski domain offers a considerable vertical drop of 1430m (from 1800m to 3230m). Whether you are a novice or an expert, snowboarder or skier, you will find that the pistes, the snowpark with halfpipe and the boardercross will satisfy all of your skiing desires On the après-ski front, you will surely be happy at Val Thorens: sporty and cultural activities, or even nocturnal activities (Val Tho Skidoo, the “Ecole du Ski Français” party, the “Dîner des Cîmes”…) that will help you clear your mind and discover new sensations.
