Review of Val Thorens, France

" Val Thorens review"

reviewed by Michael *

Val Thorens is hands down my favourite place to start the year. The skiing is unreal, the atmosphere is always buzzing, and a week there with friends is the perfect mix of snow, fun, and chaos in the best way. My favourite restaurant is Hotel Tango, my go to apres ski is Club 360, and Orelle is my favourite place to ski. It’s quiet, perfectly groomed runs and seriously underrated. Drinks and food can be expensive though, and there are a lot of cable cars, while I prefer chair lifts. I go every January and somehow it never gets old. I absolutely love it.

* Advanced, with friends, who skis, multiple visits
