Val Thorens 2018 & 2019 Guide 4k
Located in the Three Valleys ski area, at an altitude of 2,300 metres above sea level, Val Thorens is the highest ski resort in Europe.
Thanks to its 600 Kilometers of connected Ski Runs, the Three Valleys ski area is considered the best in the world. Couple that with the outstanding night life and après ski scene, and Val Thorens is probably the best ski resort in the world.
In this video, I’ll show you the most important things you need to know before booking a vacation in Val Thorens,
And if you stick around until the end of the video, I’ll give you some great tips that will help you make better decisions and save money. How do you get to Val Thorens?
The closest airports to Val Thorens are Chambery, Lyon And Geneva, with transfer times of 2 hours, 2 hours and 45 minutes, and 3 hours and 15 minutes respectively.
But do be aware, French Holiday season kicks in on the Saturday of the 2nd week of February and 2nd week of March, and massive traffic jams may cause transfer times to extend to as long as eight hours, so planning ahead is vital!
If you’re coming on the train, the nearest train stop is in the town of Moutier, from where you’ll need to take a 1 hour bus journey to Val Thorens.
Overall, there are 9 black runs, 30 red runs, 35 blue runs, and 11 green runs in the ski area of Val Thorens.
For intermediate to advanced skiers, I recommend buying the 3 Valley skips which cost 300 euros for 6 days and are worth every penny.
Take note that the 3 Valleys ski area has a shorter ski season than Val Thorens, which spread from around December 10th to April 20th each year.
Val Thorens has one of the longest ski seasons around, beginning in mid-November, and lasting until early May, after the famous Dutch Week Festival.
This video was shot on April 15th.
So, before we wrap up, here are my ratings for Val Thorens:
For snowboarders, it’s a 9, Together with the 3 Valleys there are endless possibilities for snowboarders. The fact that along the snow park there is a drug lift, damages the otherwise amazing 10 score.
For skiers for all levels: it’s a 9. The fact that the runs in Val Thorens itself are above the tree line make the view a little boring.
For freestylers, also a 9, again just because of the drug lift in the snow park.
For free riders, a perfect 10. Together with the 3 valleys there is indeed the largest area of off-piste than anywhere else in the world.
For Night life: another 10. Many packed bars for every taste, where you can party in a packed place with energy from 4 pm ‘til 4 am, every night.
Après ski: it’s a 10. The Foley Douce is the best après ski bar in the world today
Resort Charm: 7.5. The absence of trees makes it a little bit boring, but the many chairlifts and little ski runs crossing the village, gives it a unique charm all of its own.
My total, overall score for Val Thorens sits at a 9, and for young people and party lovers it is probably the best ski resort in the world today.
My bonus tips for Val Thorens:
Because Val Thorens is so high, it takes time to the body to acclimate and you are likely to feel exhausted for the first 2 days.
My recommendation is not to party hard on these nights if at all because you will have little energy, and if you drink you will probably suffer quite a harsh hangover.
The reason you haven’t seen nightlife shots in this video is because
The 2nd tip is not to come to Val Thorens by car, as there are only 3 designated parking garages that cost 70 euros per week. Everything you need is within easy walking distance, and on-street parking will land you a ticket, so it’s unlikely you’ll need the car for the duration of your visit anyway.

Le temps de trajet serait de 18 minutes, les gares de départ/arrivée seraient implantées à environ 2100m d'altitude. Ce projet, d'un budget de 60 millions d'euros pourrait être validé avant 2019 pour une ouverture en 2021.

What's New & What's on in Alpe d'Huez Winter 2014
For all the latest news & snow conditions from Alpe d'Huez visit
Alp d'huez opens on 6th but there have already been weekend openings since the 16th of November, so there will be a special opening this weekend of the Grand Rousses, DMC 1&2, Pic Blanc lift and Glacier and Herpie lifts meaning the Hermie, Herpie, Cristalliere, Crystal and Glacier pistes will be available.
By all accounts the snow is very good and there is one more weekend opening this Saturday and Sunday before the resort officially opens on the 6th. When Alp d'Huez does open properly there is a lot to look forward to this winter, so without further ado lets have a look at what's in store this winter.
First of all there are some new lifts in the resort -- the Telemixte des Jeux was installed over the summer and it's eight man chairs will run up the side of the DMC 1 Bubble transporting 3800 people an hour. The other addition to the piste map is the Romains chairlift which has been extended increasing the size and altitude of the beginners area above the town.
As well as new lifts there are also some fancy new piste bashers -- these combination diesel engine and electric motor machines from Pistenbully are like huge Toyota Prius's that should cut C02 emissions by 20% and save 30% on fuel.
So when there will be new lifts opening and new machines to keep the pistes smooth. Also added to the hillside this year is a brand new Apres Ski destination and mountain restaurant - La Folie Deuce.
The Folie Deuce restaurant and bar started in Val d'Isere and has spread to Meribel and Val Thorens. The Folie prides itself on live music and a great slope side party and skiers in Alpe d'huez will be able to enjoy one of the best Apres Ski bars around at the top of the Marmottes 1 lift this season.
For younger skiers who aren't interested in champagne fights and house music there is a new crèche run by the ESF in the Chalet des Enfants. The Chalet has indoor and outdoor activities for kids as young as two and a half.
There aren't that many big events you can go and watch in Alpe d'huez. The first one of note is the Andros Trophee on December 20th& 21st. This is the French Ice driving Championship and it's usually a spectacular event.
The coolest thing about the Andros Trophee is the Ice driving track and the fact that once Alain Prost and the other drivers have left it is open to the public
Although there aren't many competitions to go and watch there are plenty of weekly activities you can join in for free.
Over Christmas and New Year the resort will lay on special celebrations. Over Christmas there will be torchlit descents, fireworks, ice sculptures and fire eaters and at new year a special party hosted by the MC from La Folie Deuce.
You'll also be able to enjoy floodlit skiing and torch lit descents.
Tuesday and Thursday are the time for Night Skiing on the Signal in Alp d'huez . The lift and piste are open from 5.30 -- 7.30 and admission is included in your lift pass.
Every Wednesday from February 19th -- March 25th ESF torchlit descent. 300 skiers and from the ski school will snake down the piste with flaming torches followed by a fireworks display.
Then for stars of the future there's the Ofe X Day on the 5th & 6th April.
4 time X-Games Gold medal winner and 7 times World Ski Cross Gold Medallist Ophelie David will be at this event, which is named after her to offer coaching and tips to any would be ski cross champions of the future. It's open to everyone aged 11-14.
There are other events throughout the season including European Gay Ski week, ski races and even a comics festival and you can find out more in our Events Calendar. If you are organising an event or competition get in touch and let us know and we'll add it to our Calendar.
Have a great season.
