The Val Thorens + Orelle ski resort is the highest in Europe and a gliding paradise in all its variations. It is located at the foot of an impressive 3,300-meter-high peak of rock and ice, the Aiguille de Péclet.
This ski resort has an enviable extension with more than 140 kilometers of slopes and an exceptional drop of 1,430 meters. Thanks to its altitude, you can find eight skiable areas above 3,000 meters. This will allow you to enjoy excellent snow, guaranteed from the end of November to the middle of May. To that we must add that almost all the skiable terrain of the place exceeds 2,300 meters of altitude. In addition, its modern ski lifts have a capacity of 52,000 skiers per hour.
The Val Thorens ski resort belongs to the Les 3 Vallées ski area, the largest in the world and one of the most prestigious in the French Alps. This extensive domain has a drop of 2,160 meters and is by eight resorts: Courchevel, La Tania, Méribel, Brides-Les-Bains, Les Menuires - Saint Martin, Val Thorens and Orelle.
The huge number of slopes and skiable space makes this a perfect destination for any type of skier, even those who prefer to enjoy the snow in a more relaxed way.
