Get to know Val Thorens Ski Resort

Val Thorens is Europe’s highest ski resort. Located in the Tarentaise Valley of the Savoie region, it forms part of the renowned Three Valleys ski area. The resort’s history as a skiing destination began in the late 1960s, with the first lifts installed in 1971. Originally conceived as a functional, purpose-built resort, Val Thorens has since evolved, blending modern amenities with traditional Alpine charm.
