Val Thorens
Apres-Ski in Val Thorens
The village is, well…villagey, with limited car access making it lovely to wander around. There's a good range of restaurants, bars and clubs catering for discerning gastro folk as well as the more cash-strapped 20-somethings. When we say 'good range ' there are no fewer than 40 bars and 60 restaurants so you won't go hungry (or thirsty!)
Nightlife is chilled out and if you're a non-skier, or simply want a day off the slopes, there's a sports centre with tennis, squash, pool, sauna and Jacuzzi.
A superb range of skiing and snowboarding, with an equally varied choice of accommodation - all set in magnificent Savoyard alpine scenery. What more could you ask for? If there's anything that comes to mind, ask us at GetSkiing and we'll pull out all the stops to make all your winter holiday dreams come true.
Gary's Little Gems in Val Thorens
Did you know that Tignes claimed that Val Thorens wasn't the highest resort because it wasn't really a village as it had no church ? So, in 1991, they built a church in Val Thorens!
If you want to know my favourite run it has to be Mauduit from the top of Saluire all the way down to Méribel. It's long, it's open, the piste is well-groomed - and it's a number one thigh-burner!
