We visited Val Thorens 15th to 22nd February (half term) and had a fantastic holiday. We had a family group of 6, in a range of ages from 8 to 61. The ski resort has something for everyone. We were blessed with magnificent sunny weather and lots of snow. We stayed in Le Cheval Blanc apartments that are located right on the slopes, with operator Crystal Ski. The trip up from Chambery airport is long (over 3.5 hours), but once in VT that’s quickly forgotten. The big advantage of VT in these days of uncertain weather, is the elevation. With the village set at 2300m, the resort is very snow assured. From the apartments you can quickly travel to 3 adjacent high quality ski resorts - Les Menuires, Meribel and Courchevel. The lifts and facilities in all 4 resorts are modern with very efficient double access 6 man chair lifts. The only slight challenge was the occasional long queue for the lifts but that was due to the half term holiday. But with over 500km of slopes to explore there are lots of quieter areas. I’d recommend parts of Les Menuires and the Orelle area. All in all, it’s a fantastic ski resort that won’t disappoint.
