WELCOME TO VAL THORENS
Located in the village of Belleville in Savoie, the Val Thorens resort towers over Les 3 Vallées, the largest ski area in the world, home to an amazing snowy playground with 600 km of slopes. The regulars of “Val Tho” will also remind us that the resort is the highest in Europe (at over 2000m), a perfect situation to enjoy a beautiful winter season with abundant snow for the pleasure of skiers and all snow and mountain sports enthusiasts.
This exceptional location in the high mountains provides a unique panoramic view, whether from the mythical Péclet Glacier, the Cime Caron, or from the terrace of the Koh-I Nor 5* hotel (part of the Les Étincelles collection).
Val Thorens has also been awarded the “Famille Plus Montagne” label thanks to its family-friendly facilities and activities designed for the pleasure and safety of all, from supervised recreational areas for children to the cultural events organised throughout the season.
The resort is also home to over sixty restaurants including Michelin-star options and local heart-warming specialities, adding to the many bars and clubs making Val Thorens’ one of the most lively resorts in the region.

Val Thorens is one of the most accessible resorts with slopes for all levels (half of which are blue and green slopes) and beginners including children’s areas.

One-of-a-kind activities
For those who love the sound of compacted snow, there’s nothing better than a ride in a snow groomer or a safe run on the electric Fat Bike with its oversized wheels to whizz through the powder snow. Thrill seekers will like drifting at the wheel of a car on the dedicated ice circuit, the steep climbs on the iced waterfalls or the 1,800m-long Bee zip line with its 65m vertical drop. Other activities include go-karting, snowmobiling or dog sledging.
Fun and children’s activities
Try out your pirouettes and tricks on the skating rink, Try snow tubing, or the snakegliss down the dedicated run or cosmojet sledging on the longest track in France for some carefree fun with friends. Everyone can have fun in the snow!
For those who are still a bit too young though, the resort offers many dedicated leisure areas including ski schools to go on a treasure hunt (from 3 years old), on a torch run or to run around in the Téléphérique playground. Alternatively, the resort has a creche/kindergarten in the warmth of the forum centre (from 0 to 3 years old).
