Overall Val Thorens is a great resort for all levels of skiers. Also wide range of activities for non skiers, especially après at Follie!
On the last few days of 2022 we had 13cm of fresh powder. All piest and off piest conditions were excellent. Priests are well maintained and plenty of open areas for those new to skiing off piest powder without having to worry about rocks and trees.
The cost of resort is high however this is worth the price due to the location to the slopes, snow conditions and ski area.

A great tool for ski enthusiasts ! THANK YOU !
Very clear, simple, reliable forecasts !!!
I don’t understand how to read the chart « SNOW DEPTH HISTORY ». Sad as it would give good comparisons when you return to the same ski domain year on year ( Val Thorens for me ).

The Toboggining in Val Thorens is a disgrace and should be avoided. It is a waste of money and unsuitable for anybody older than 12.
Excellent skiing conditions and runs of all levels available. Guaranteed good conditions.
The other activities available are really bad and not valuse for money. The Toboggining

We went there with Skikot, a famous travel brand in Belgium who was really good for the organization. We had a small (perhaps too small) room for 4 pers. at the foot of the slopes and the ski lift. Hopefully we had all stay long a wonderful sunshine, which is really nice for the après-ski at the Folie douce! The resort was also good for the nightlife with a large amount of bars, restaurants,... The ski area is available to any ski level, from the beginners to the pros. It's really good if you go there with friends who's got differents skiing levels. I recommend it to everyone.
wonderful views
expensive

After disappointing trips elsewhere with little snow thought we'd try the highest resort and pleased we did. Bit warm and no snow but pistes well maintained. Reds very hard packed but blues great. Slushy in lower resorts but viz excellent most of the time. Will definitely return!
Guaranteed snow. Area spectacular. Good choice of runs.
Limited choice of beginner runs. Gets busy. Expensive.

Great holiday , good tuition from Ski prosneige. Superbly maintained pistes, a brilliant resort for all abilities. We were very well looked after by the ski total team in the Chalet le Sommet. Will definitely be back.
huge range of pistes for all abilities. Great lift
getting down to ski school if you are a beginner

The best ski resort
Kilometers of excellent runs perfectly connected
It is likely that you have bad weather not suitable for beginners

We had skiied in many resorts before we found VT and have not ventured beyond it since. Access to a great range of pistes, great lift service and generally guaranteed snow make this the best that we have sampled. As for the evening toboggan run - absolutely brilliant. The only irritant is the noisy revellers in the street at 4am (every morning) - 5am on one occasion. This is followed (we stayed in the centre of the village) by an unloading lorry in the main street at 5.30am which goes on until 6.15 (why???) and that was followed one morning by a snow machine at 6.30am at the travelator which carried on until c 7.15am. Sleepless nights followed by a full day's skiing are not the best mix and management really should do something to limit these sorts of inconsiderate practices.
