5 Things Not To Miss On A Ski Break In Val Thorens

If you’re currently thinking about your next ski holiday, and about the best place to book a catered chalet, Val Thorens might be the answer you’re looking for. Not only does it boast excellent snow, bolstered by its high altitude (meaning you get a longer season), it’s home to some of the best apres ski anywhere in Europe. Not convinced by that? Well, we’ve highlighted the five top things to do while visiting that will delight anybody seeing the area for the first time – or those coming again.

Ziplining

Skiing isn’t the only exhilarating activity that you can expect on the doorstep of your catered chalet. Val Thorens is home to two ziplines, which makes getting around the fun part of your day! You get great views over the resort and it’s a fun way to spend some time if you’re on a trip with children (depending on age and height, of course). It’s something that more and more people who visit are doing – making it an essential non-skiing activity.

Cheese!

One of the best things about coming to the Alps is the food. Fondue is a classic mountain staple and something that can be enjoyed across the region. One of the best things about staying in a catered chalet (Val Thorens has some of the very best) is that you can request fondue at home next to the fireside after a long day on the slopes. It’s a traditional and wholesome way to replenish all that energy!

Get Hiking

The mountains are not just for skiing or snowboarding. There are also some fantastic hiking trails to enjoy while visiting the resort. They’ve got the same difficulty grading as the slopes so you know what you’re in for before you set off. Had an exhausting day the day before? Head out on the lighter hikes, where you can still enjoy stunning views and experience nature close up.

Sunsets

With the resort being located so high up, the sunsets are truly unmatched across the Alps. From Peclet Funitel you can view a majestic vision of the sun setting after a day on the pistes. It’s a truly spectacular image with which to end the day.

Catered Chalet

Val Thorens is one of the best resorts in the Alps for skiers and snowboarders, and is home to some of the most exciting runs anywhere in Europe. Staying in catered accommodation means that you can focus on getting the most out of your day on the slopes knowing that everything is taken care of when you get back home for your evening meal.

Reputation Matters

Chances are, based on the above you’re already on the internet looking at booking your catered chalet – Val Thorens really won’t disappoint, rest assured. As long as you book with a reputable company you can be confident that your accommodation will meet all your needs and specifications. It will be a cosy, relaxing place for you to wind down and enjoy a good meal after a hard day on the slopes. It’s really crucial that you choose an experienced and well-rated company to book with and then you’ll be in for the trip of a lifetime.
