Val Thorens, Europe's highest ski resort, offers spectacular views and excellent skiing. The resort is the perfect blend of tradition and modernity, where wooden chalets nestle comfortabely alongside more recently built, high-standard hotels and residences.
Val Thorens is a pedestrianised resort divided into four areas: Hameau de Peclet in the upper part of the resort, the more central Hameau de Caron, the Rue du Soleil area in the lower part of the resort, home to the majority of the resort's facilities for children, and the more recently built Balcons area in the higher part of Val Thorens and offering direct access to the slopes, as well as being just 500m from shops and resturants.
