Val Thorens is an incredible ski resort with great facilities, bars and restaurants. If you want some of the best views and skiing in the world book yourself a trip there and enjoy a great dinner at 2 Lac restaurant on the slopes with a taxi ride there and back in a priest basher. Awesome.

The resort is a nice size and beautifully located high up in the Alps. Restaurants and bars are all good but expensive. Plenty to do and see and lots of accommodation options. Loved La Cabene restaurant and also The Scandinavian Wine Bar. The Red Fox pub was a find too and not very crowded. The Igloo is worth a visit for a few photos. We did the evening Cosmojet Taboggan run and I would not recommend for children under 14 years. It's very long and it's very tiring! Caution....We booked Swiss Taxi (also Connecto Transfers) for our airport transfer. They cancelled five minutes before pick up and we all missed our flights home Book a local return transfer to the airport.

Amazing range of runs and off piste skiing/boarding for all experience levels, particularly intermediate and advanced. Easy access to the whole of the 3 valleys ski area served by a superb lift infrastructure. Interconnecting runs for 3 valleys are relatively challenging and very busy, not suitable for beginners. Good range of activities, restaurants and shops. Our boys loved the sports centre for table tennis and the activity park with its inflatables, trampolines and foam pit! When the weather and snow are good Val Thorens and the 3 Valleys are hard to beat!

Wonderful mountain scenery. Plenty of pistes and lifts but TOO many skiers. The resort itself is rather a concrete/timber-clad jungle without much charm but it is well-served by numerous shops and cafes.

The skiing is brilliant. Piste's are well prepared and very varied over a massive area. Good height drop and length of runs. Little or no queues even at peak times. Intermediates could ski VT and Orelle for most of a week and may only want to upgrade to 3Valley for a day at the end. Experts or good skiers could go 3Valley and ski into Meribel and even Courchevel if you are adventurous. When weather good VT unbeatable. When weather bad seriously consider a day off relaxing and save cost of a days pass. Passes can be purchased daily, easily, and only a few euros more than a multi-day pass. Altitude is significant so take it easy for a few days and avoid to much Apres! Keep well hydrated! Skiing Paradise.

Val Thorens is a great ski resort in combination with the 3 Valleys pass albeit very expensive. The Pierre & Vacances Le Tika is great ski in / ski out accommodation with individual easy access and heated ski lockers. That's a first for me as most times the ski lockers are in a freezing cold basement. There are some amazing runs of all grades but of course some are extremely busy. Waited 1/2 hour to get a lift first thing in the morning. The blue Jerusalem run into St.Martin de Belleville was fantastic , ending at a brilliant restaurant where we had burgers, chips and salad, sitting in the bright and warm sunshine. Next time I go to Val Thorens I will pre-book the pass and ski hire via some discount site such as Topcashback since these are incredibly expensive to purchase in the resort. Or alternatively use SunWeb and get the ski-hire and pass thrown in. In summary we had a great time but I need to start saving now if I want to go again next year.
