France : Val Thorens
 
 
Val Thorens is compact and purpose-built and is Europe's highest village. Set in a huge ski bowl, with runs fanning out in all directions, providing excellent snow conditions throughout the season. Ski down the valley to Les Menuires and the wonderful La Masse area and then pop over to nearby Courchevel and Meribel on the massive Three Valleys circuit (600 kms of runs !). This is some of the most amazing skiing in the world.
 
 

Shops - lots of clothing and equipment shops, curios, mini-markets for food and essentials. The banks and ATM machines make life easy.

Night life - try the apres ski bars, pubs and more. For the youngsters there are the many disco's and clubs.

Adventure sports - there is walking, paragliding, indoor pools and X country skiing.

Restaurants abound, with all sorts of diners in town, as well as many mountain restaurants for skiers to enjoy.

If you are bored with skiing we will arrange excursions for you to places like Munich, Salzburg, Innsbruck etc !

Our comment        Europe's highest resort


   
 
The resort is child friendly, with child classes at Ski School, a kids snow area and menu's all over town designed for kids.

The village is also walkable and its impossible to get lost. Cars are not a danger at all.

There are lots of winter sports for kids like snow discing, games and activities.
