There’re plenty of gentle runs that you can access easily from the resort centre and there are even more red and black runs for those experienced skiers out there to test themselves on.

However, it’s more than likely that you’ll want to purchase a full area lift pass in order to experience the skiing on offer in the world-famous resorts of Meribel and Courchevel. There’s an abundance of blue and red runs to keep even the most adventurous of intermediate skiers happy.
The runs up on the Peclet Glacier and the piste which make their way down from Val Thorens to Les Menuires are guaranteed to bring a smile to your face.
The sheer volume of pistes is what makes Val Thorens so beloved of advanced skiers. Even if you were to spend the first two or three days of your holidays skiing every inch of piste in the Val Thorens valley you’d still have three other vast ski resorts to explore afterwards.
On top of that, there is countless options for off-piste skiing as well as numerous steep and challenging back runs and mogul fields to be found.
Make time for the famous run down from Cime de Caron with a decent from nearly 3200m. It’s a must for any experienced skiers during their time in Val Thorens.

In recent years, Val Thorens has earned a reputation for a lively apres ski scene and it definitely lives up to its reputation.
This is partly due to the opening of a 'La Folie Douce' franchise, providing a great spot to stop on the side of the piste for a few drinks and a dance.
You can count on the party carrying on until the lifts are closing and bank on the champagne flowing and plenty of dancing on the tables.
However, the apres-ski in Val Thorens isn’t just about one venue. You have plenty of other bars and clubs to sample including the Frog and Roast Beef which really feels like a traditional English pub.
If you want to carry on the party into the early hours of the morning, your best port of call is Malaysia, reputedly the biggest night club anywhere in the Alps!
If you’re looking for something a bit different than the typical apres-ski activities, why not try renting a skidoo and a guide? Once the lifts are closed you can explore the mountains and valleys to experience the Alps from a completely different perspective.
The views over the village and the rest of the mountains are spectacular, especially at sunset. Val Thorens also has a leisure centre with a swimming pool as well as squash courts and tennis courts just in case you still have some energy left after a long day on the slopes.
The six-kilometre toboggan run around the foot of Peclet glacier has to be experienced, even for seasoned skiers who feel they’ve already seen it all. Ice diving is also available, and the Turkish-style hammam, the sauna, and the sports centre – with swimming pool – are all highly attractive ways to spend your downtime.
Or, if you’d rather stay active, there’s tennis, squash, and snow showing all to be done – and even a bowling alley if that’s your thing.
