Val Thorens

Expensive but no more so than anywhere else in the French Alps. High so we had great snow and this year the season is being extended into May. Skiing is everything anyone could want from beginner to experienced powder hound... pistes are varied and endless.VT itself is a rather characterless collection of apartment blocks with a road running through its centre which despite it being a traffic free" resort

Excellent resort. At 2300m the snow is usually the best. Great links and easy to do all four valleys each day for intermediate skiers. Town centre is a bit wild every evening with lots of young drunk people around if that's your thing.

Station énorme. Beaucoup de monde en bas mais ensuite un pur bonheur de se retrouver sur les pistes et se beau manteau neigeux. Quelques commerçants ne se gène pas pour les prix exorbitants. Station agréable à vivre. Les commerces à proximité. Tout est fait pour que nous passions un bon séjour.

At such an altitude, clearly a range of sustainable skiing available over a long season (P.S. altitude does involve some adjustment, or did for me). Add to that the extensive 3 valleys area and there is much to choose from (although other resorts are more central to that region). Loads of snow cannons maintain the majority of routes albeit with variablexsnow quality when these have to be relied upon.Clearly investment in the area continues and there are other town events (we went to an excellent bluegrass/folk concert) but provision is not as integrated/advertised as some resorts. Also found the application tracker less usable - partly due to UK EU withdrawal (mobile data) but also wouldn't work alongside other phone settings with no evident solution provided.Having said all that, the scale, location and planning of Val Thorens justifies its regular awards as best ski resort.

The most wonderful place on earth and the best ski resort in the world! Definitely a must-ski if you are into skiing. 600km of slops, an endless resort.

Lovely Ski place in French Alps, lots of ski lefts, lots of bars and restaurants, parking cars may be a bit problem but rest is good, few bars with nice music open till late hours, Food and drinks are bit pricy (expensive) then rest of the French cities.

Been here many times, snows much better than any other resort due to its height. Especially during April time when lower resorts lack snow (/good quality snow). If you do decide to visit whether you are a good skier/snowboarder or not, then I would recommend going march time (February/January can be too cold). If you're good, getting the ski pass that includes the 3 valleys is worth every penny.

Une des meilleures station de ski française.Un domaine skiable exceptionnel.Des activités pour les petits et les grands qui permettent de s'y sentir bien qu'on soit entre amis ou en famille

La personne qui m'a aidée à été très aimable et souriante, très professionnelle. Le soucis de Val Thorens restera le bruit malgré les ambassadeurs du bruit, il est difficile de trouver le sommeil la nuit. Pour le reste, le domaine skiable est juste extraordinaire, pas d'attente ou peu aux remontées mécaniques, les moniteurs ESF sont professionnels et très agréables, le feu d'artifice, la descente au flambeau, les restos .. tout est là pour passer un excellent séjour

L'office du tourisme est très bien, grand et avec du personnel en nombre mais:A quoi ça sert puisque la station ne fait aucun effort d'attractivité l'été ?!La couleur est annoncé dès l'entrée, voir photo, où tous les gravats des travaux sont versés dans la nature...Les remontées mécaniques ferment à 15h?!?! et ne sont pas ouverts le samedi dimancheLes à côté des chemins ne sont pas entretenu, de la caillasse de partout...Vous devriez aller voir aux Arcs 1800, ce n'est pas compliqué de mettre de la verdureStation à éviter l'été... heureusement notre résidence était parfaite
