Val Thorens Ski Holidays

There’s a good mix of skiing in Val Thorens ski resort and you won’t be struggling to find runs to match your ability. There are plenty of sweeping, gentle pistes for beginners and intermediates but the more advanced skiers will really benefit from this area the most with a vast array of challenging reds and blacks and plenty of opportunities to ski some incredible off-piste. We recommend trying the long slopes down into Orelle and the Maurienne Valley as well as the Cascade run.

With many ski schools and instructors to choose between, there really is something for everybody.

We’ve partnered with New Generation and Oxygène and highly recommend their services. All of our partners offer fantastic lessons for all ability levels.

Book your ski lessons with our recommended suppliers. If you’re travelling during a peak week be sure to book these well in advance.

Val Thorens ski resort has some good options on the mountain and off. However, if they aren’t to your liking you still have the entire Three Valleys to find somewhere for lunch. Near 360 Bar, one of Val Thorens’ après ski hotspots, there is Les Chalet du Thorens which serves up various choices of food including a great burger aptly named ‘McThorens’ and an Asian restaurant called Wok Ski. A good place to visit in the resort is La Maison, a friendly brasserie that serves hearty fondue, raclette and great pizzas.

For those who are fair weather skiers, or for those who want to breathe the mountain air but not actually ski, there are better places to go than Val Thorens ski resort. That said, the village does boast a swimming pool, indoor tennis and squash courts although these do tend to get crowded at peak times. There are numerous shops and restaurants within the village itself and you can while away a good few hours in the pleasant bars and cafes.
