At Get me to the Alps, as a dedicated ski travel agency – we are supposed to sit on the fence as to our preferred ski resorts. That is however, much easier said than done, it’s especially difficult in the case of Val Thorens, which has been awarded – and fully believed in by us to the be the best ski resort in the world.
Val Thorens is an incredibly popular resort not only with our customers, but also the staff here at Get me to the Alps. Below, we run through six of the main reasons (trust us, there’s more than six) as to why this ski season, you need to visit Val Thorens.
Excellent Value
Val Thorens is one of the most exclusive ski resorts in the world, but thanks to a fantastic range of self-catering ski apartments, one of the best value. These apartments offer the same levels of luxury as hotels and chalets, at a much lower price. Furthermore, many of these apartments have spa facilities, as well as ski in/ski out access.

Val Thorens is the highest ski resort in Europe, with the village sitting at 2,300 metres. The highest ski lift goes up to 3,230 metres, making Val Thorens one of the most snow sure areas to ski in the world. Skiing is available from early November to early May, so the ski season is well covered.

These runs contribute to almost 600kms of interconnected slopes, so you really don’t have to worry about running out of new areas to ski.
The Pistes Cater for all
