About Val Thorens

Situated at 2,240m in the Savoie region, this high-altitude hub provides direct access to the 600km Les 3 Vallées circuit. During the shoulder season, the expansive lift system serves significantly fewer visitors, offering clear runs across the 990m vertical drop and proximity to Vanoise National Park.
