When it comes to topping the table for the greatest ski resort in Europe, it’s hard to get better than Val Thorens.
At 2,300m it’s the continent’s highest-altitude ski area and a safe bet for reliable snow cover. It also offers one of the longest ski seasons in the Alps, this winter from 25 November to 5 May, 2024.

Val Thorens is part of Les 3 Vallées, the world’s largest ski region, with a whopping 600km of ski slopes. This gives you access to a huge variety of terrain and difficulty levels, from gentle green runs to challenging black runs, as well as off-piste areas and snow parks. You can ski to your heart’s content without ever getting bored or repeating the same slope
With all these facts it’s no surprise that Val Thorens has been voted the best ski resort in Europe, and the world, seven times, in the prestigious World Ski Awards.
