News – 2020/21
A new 400sqm natural ice rink will open. And the Alain Prost ice driving circuit will be the first in France to have only electric vehicles (2WD cars and 270cc go-karts) to try. A drone will be used to help with mountain safety , such as avalanche assessment and rescue operations.
Summary
Over the years, Val Thorens has gradually drifted upmarket and there are now four 5-star hotels. But it remains a top place for the enthusiast looking for the best snow available and fast lifts to whizz you around. For a late trip, in particular, it’s the best base in the wonderful Three Valleys. But we normally prefer a cosier base lower down. That way, if a storm socks in, we can play in the woods; if it’s scorchio, we can set off for Val Thorens.
