Val Thorens is, without a doubt, my all time favourite ski resort. It’s as high as it gets - sitting at 2300 metres - which means snow is pretty much guaranteed all season long. Add in legendary après spots like 360 and Folie Douce, and you’ve got yourself the ultimate mix of epic skiing and unforgettable parties. The other main thing left to get right? Where you’re going to crash and eat after a big day on the mountain. That’s where this guide comes in - to help you find the perfect place to stay in Val Thorens.
