Get To Know Val Thorens, A Winter Wonderland!

Skiers are spoiled for choice when it comes to great resorts in Europe. There is a wide variety from which to choose, each with their own distinct characteristics – depending on what country you find yourself in. Not everybody has heard of it, but for those looking to book a catered chalet, Val Thorens is certainly worth a look. It’s one of the very best anywhere in the Alps for location, amenities and a great many other factors.

In case you haven’t heard of it yet, we’ll outline some of what makes it a top destination for skiers, snowboarders and anybody else who lives for the cosy view outside the window of a catered chalet. Val Thorens has it all!

Location

One of the best things about this resort is its excellent location. The altitude of the town means that you get consistent snow for a longer season than many of its Alpine rivals. The height of the resort also makes for some stunning views – and often otherworldly ones – as you’re above the treeline. It’s often a bare white expanse, unlike anything else you’ll see in Europe.

The other great thing about the location is the fact that it’s car free. That’s right, there’s no buses or having to drive around to get to your ski-lift. All you need to do is step out of your catered chalet; Val Thorens’ fantastic slopes await!

Ski & Snowboard Opportunities

As well as having a longer ski season than most resorts – quite literally giving more opportunities to ski than other European destinations – the slopes here leave nothing to be desired. There are difficulty levels to suit all abilities (including absolute beginners), as well as plenty for advanced skiers and snowboarders. There are also over 30 ski lifts, which means you can get to any of the 70+ slopes with minimal difficulty – and that, in turn, means more runs each day!

Other Activities

As well as fantastic pistes to get you excited, there are a number of activities that take place in Val Thorens each season that will give variety to your holiday. From the apres ski bars and restaurants to enjoy a drink after a hard day, to events based entirely around cheese, there are some really fun ways to spend the evenings. For days where you fancy a break from the slopes, you can enjoy a number of leisure activities such as hiking, swimming or even just exploring the area, which is full of authentic Alpine charm.

Catered chalet

Val Thorens has so much going for it, as you’ll see from the above points. It’s quite likely you’ll now be considering your next skiing holiday here in the Northern Alps! If you do choose to book a catered chalet, Val Thorens will not disappoint: there are a huge number of top class accommodation choices, and the benefits are that your meals are all sorted for you, leaving you more time for fun and excitement.

It really is a convenient and fun way to enjoy time on (and off) the slopes with friends or family. We highly recommend using a reputable company to book a chalet to ensure that your trip lives up to the excellent reputation of Val Thorens and you have the holiday of a lifetime.
