Val Thorens offers one of the longest ski seasons in the world running from November until May. With altitudes climbing to over 3200 metres, 6 surrounding glaciers plus Les Menuires and St. Martin resorts also sitting in the valley, it really is a colossal skier’s paradise. Courchevel is the exclusive ski area, Meribel is the sunny heart and Val Thorens is a high altitude bully.

Don’t be mistaken though, no matter your skiing style Val Thorens has it all. Easy going slopes allow you to find your legs as a beginner in the high mountains. You can hop straight on to the bustling slopes of Val Thorens itself or take secluded laps in lower down St. Martin.

Once again intermediates have an amazing choice of skiing with blue and red runs offering access to almost every part of the ski area. You can take the trip to the top of Cime de Caron and take the whopping 12km descent back into town.

For a secluded ski adventure, try the La Masse ski area only accessible via Les Menuires. You’ll have your pick of the red slopes which glide from 2800 metres back down to 1850 metres.

What about the expert skiers?

Val Thorens is ready for you with high altitude challenges to push your skill levels. Combe de Caron is the black run to tackle early in the day before the legs tire. For perhaps the most exciting run in The Three Valleys, Jerusalem is filled with rollers, bumps and high-speed corners for a real treat!

Don’t forget you can take on a full Three Valleys ski day as you hop over to Meribel and Courchevel without ever removing your skis. AND and and, did you know about the secret fourth valley called Orelle?
