About Val Thorens
The highest village in the Three Valleys, above the trees
Val Thorens sits at 2,300 m, so the snow is reliable from the start of the season to the end. It was built for skiing, and most places are close to a piste. The open bowls suit confident skiers, and the rest of the Three Valleys is a few lifts away.
