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!
