Skiing in Val Thorens

Val Thorens is the highest resort in the Alps, sitting at a snowsure 2300m, so is a great choice for early or late season trips. It sits at the head of the Belleville valley, which also includes Les Menuires and St Martin de Belleville and offers a huge amount of skiing for all abilities of skier and snowboarder.

The majority of the runs, suitable for intermediate and advanced skiers, start from above 3000m and from here there is plenty of interesting off-piste between the marked trails for the more adventurous skiers.

Val Thorens has one of the best terrain parks in the Three Valleys with separate areas designated for different abilities.
