Luxury Ski Holidays In Val Thorens
with Elegant Resorts
Not just the highest resort in the Alps, but the highest of the major resorts (along with nearby Courchevel and Meribel) in Les Trois Vallees, Val Thorens’ north-facing slopes ensure snow-sure skiing longer into the day. From its nursery slopes and gentle blue and green runs, to the challenging terrain of Les Trois Vallees, the resort is perfectly suited to any level of skier. The cleverly planned, purpose-built resort, surrounded by 360 degrees peaks, may not have the look of a quaint village, but it is nicely compact, generates quite a lively buzz and offers doorstep skiing from practically anywhere you may be staying.
