Resort Information
At 2300m, Val Thorens is the highest ski resort in Europe and forms part of the Three Valleys (the largest linked skiing area in the world). It is purpose-built, in the midst of barren landscape. The modern architecture sprawls over a large area. Accommodation in Val Thorens is of good quality. An indoor complex in the centre houses many of the shops and après ski activities.
