Val Thorens - the highest resort and the biggest snow fields in Europe is hard to beat.

At 2,300 m it is Europe's highest winter sports resort, at the head of the 3 Valleys, the largest ski area in the world. As a result it has the longest season. It has 100-percent ski in ski out accommodation with unbeatable skiing: powdery fields, perfectly groomed slopes - 600 km of runs and snow guaranteed right through the season. The ski facilities are cutting-edge, with high-tech ski lifts that take you right up to the highest peaks with views over more than 1000 mountain tops. The village atmosphere is informal and friendly for après ski with a wide variety of restaurants, clubs and a stack of other activities and it is car-free.
