Val Thorens is Europe's Highest Ski Resort making it Snow Guaranteed from late November until early May and and is set in the 3 Valleys, the largest linked ski area in the world. One of the reasons people choose Val Thorens over the other resorts in the 3 Valleys is that it offers skiers great value.
They still get to ski the whole area, but the accommodation is much less expensive. Around 90% of Val Thorens’ accommodation is ski-in-ski-out, which makes it a very convenient resort for families, and those who want to get their powder turns in before it gets tracked out.
