A simple and easy journey from the airport in Geneva to Val Thorens can transport you to Europe’s highest altitude ski resort. It is not only the height this resort has to boast, but 600km of piste and easy access to the other two towns in the famous Three Valleys. This ski area is the largest in the world, inviting ski enthusiasts from all four corners. It is set in a bowl overlooked by six glaciers so you can ski in the sun all day if you plan it right. With pistes to suit all abilities and après ski that rivals the best, the resort has much to offer everyone, regardless of age, level or aspiration. With some excellent ski schools, top quality hire shops and a well maintained ski area, this resort makes for a great holiday. You have the option to buy a ski pass for the Val Thorens Valley only or you can upgrade and take a pass that gives you access to the full Three Valley playground. Choosing the Three Valley pass opens up a whole new world of possible skiing - from the challenging red runs down Mont Vallon and Cote Brune in Meribel to some more gentle, wide blues in Courcheval. The huge ski area means a week’s holiday could see you skiing new runs every day, and rarely doing the same one twice. With a state of the art lift system, opportunities for wonderful off-piste adventures, exciting border-cross runs and telemark skiing, this resort is the perfect choice for a winter ski holiday.
