Val Thorens is the highest ski resort of Les 3 Valleys - at almost 10,500 ft, with some of the best above tree-line wide open bowl skiing. It’s also the largest of Les 3 Vallées – the biggest interconnected skiing in the world. Val Thorens is at the far end of Les Trois Vallées, closest to Italy, south west of Méribel and Courchevel. There are actually 4 valleys in Les Trois Vallées when you include Orelle which is part of Val Thorens skiing. Val Thorens' terrain is huge, all above tree lines just prepared trails on eight peaks between wide open bowls and ravines. Trams, gondolas, six packs and every configuration of lift launch in every direction up every aspect (Val T is a playground for SETAM lift designers). Val Thorens is incredibly scenic if not charming and quaint. You can easily reach Méribel or Courchevel in a few lifts rides– all part of your 3 Valleys ski pass, or just explore all flanks of Val Thorens extensive valley of terrain stretching to Saint Martin de Belleville and Les Menuires to skiers right, or Orelle in the opposite direction.
