Advantages: Some really good green runs for the novice boarder. Disadvantages: Expensive
If you are a novice boarder of have never ventured to ValThorens then this is the review for you. I went for a week over new years this year. Best new years i have ever had.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ValThorens is boasted as being the highest ski resort in Europe at 2300 m altitude and is also the summit of the 3 Vallées, the largest ski area in the world.
I stayed at Le Portillo, located towards the top end of the village. It's smack bang in the middle of everything. Reasonablly priced as well. I had a kitchenette room which meant that i saved money by not eating out every day.
Ski Passes
----------------
An adult half day pass for ValThorens slopes costs 27 Euros with a full day costing 34 Euros. Make sure that you ask for insurance with these at an additional 2 ...

Advantages: Large piste area. Disadvantages: Limited beginner areas
to close, and you a good 3 hour road journey from your hotel)
One thing that makes Valthorens one of the best resorts in Europe is the huge amount of different pistes avaiable. Thou if your a begineer i would recommend staying in one of the other resorts, probably the middle of the 3, as they have more begineer slopes.
With the ample snow avaiable i was able to ski a different run each day, and my hotel was located so that i could ski to and from the front or back door. I suggest looking at this when booking your holiday, we all know it is not fun hauling your skis around, this can total spoil a days skiing if your a 10 minute walk away, It is hard to walk with ski boots, skis, on an icy road.
At last check they didnt have lift pass machines, appart from on one or two main lifts, they tended to have people on the lifts ...

Advantages: Great snow, masses of pistes, good atmosphere Disadvantages: Slightly disorganised at times
ValThorens is an excellent ski resort for intermediate and advanced skiers. The high altitiude of the resort (2200m-3300m) guarantees snow even in April. Going late in the season brings a number of advantages : The weather is usually better, the days longer and the pistes and lifts are emptier. Most lifts are chairlifts or cable cars.
ValThorens has a large ski area spread out over 3 valleys with over 100km of pistes. There are plenty of long blue runs to warm up on and some wonderful red runs.
The apartments are right next to the piste ? it is usually possible to ski right to the door of your apartment.
Eating out ? there are plenty of restaurants and fast food joints. ValThorens is a real village so has more atmosphere than many other ski resorts. Night life is adequate with plenty of bars and several discotheques ...
