Val Thorens has evolved enormously over the past fifteen years. New developments have improved the architecture and atmosphere of the resort immeasurably. There are a huge variety of bars, restaurants and shops as well as a variety of activities away from the slopes, including a brand new sports centre next to the chalets which features a swimming pool, sauna, and fitness centre.
The ski terrain is diverse with runs for all abilities. Beginners can enjoy gentle slopes on the lower part of the mountain, while intermediate skiers can explore the wide pistes around the resort. Advanced skiers and snowboarders can tackle the challenging runs at the top of the resort, including the famous Cime de Caron black run.
You also have quick and easy access to the other resorts in the huge Three Valleys ski area. Les Menuires and Méribel are just one lift away and you can ski to Courchevel in under an hour (or make a day of it!). Don’t forget to visit Orelle, the often forgotten “4th Valley” offering fabulous views and uncrowded slopes.
All of our chalet packages include flights to Lyon as well as airport transfers by coach. The transfer from Lyon airport to Val Thorens is approximately three hours.
For guests wishing to travel by train, the nearest station is Moutiers. A transfer from Moutiers takes approximately one hour.

Sian Manning2025-04-03 We have booked with Ski Vertigo and Ski Famille many times and have never been disappointed. This time we stayed at Chalet Isobelle in Tignes Le Lavachet. The day before our flight Heathrow was closed. Thankyou to the team at Ski Vertigo we still got to our destination and had a great week in a beautiful chalet with superb food and great hosting. Vicky Justice2025-04-03 Can’t recommend enough! Chalet staff were fantastic, so friendly, warm, and food was excessive and delicious. Wonderful chalets, great location and had an amazing time. Gren Dilks2025-03-31 Booking process was straightforward and all questions addressed. Dealing with someone by phone added a lot of clarity on what to expect and to tailor the holiday more closely to my requirements. Dan Hughes2025-03-29 Fantastic team, takes the stress out of ski holiday. Claire Harrison2025-03-24 The dream location with the dream team! We just arrived home from the best weeks stay at Chalet Sapin with our party of 11. We were made to feel at home from the moment we arrived. The chalet is in a fab location, ski in ski out, right beside esf ski school & with lots of space for our teenage crew to spread out! Wonderfully comfy beds, pristine facilities, stunning food & the best hosts we could have wished for. Shout out to Aurelia, Izzy & Alice. It really was a dream week in the sun & snow. Thank you ski vertigo, we will see you next year! Simon Goodwin2025-03-21 Incredibly helpful and friendly customer services during booking process along with great value ski package. Can’t wait for January! julie smith2025-03-18 Perfect place to stay Sam F2025-03-18 The entire team at ski vertigo was amazing! Truly top notch service from a welcoming chalet staff that felt like family. We stayed at Chalet Vega over NYE and we are still talking about our trip 3 months later. Our group visited from Texas, and this was unlike any experience you can find in the states. Will be back for sure! Special shoutout to Dave, Georgia and Ben for taking great care of us. Dave even went toe-to-toe with the manager at British Airways to get us on a different flight after finding out our departure flight was delayed and we were in jeopardy of missing our connection. Absolute over the top service until the moment we left France. Can't thank you guys enough! Hope to see you again soon! Graham Darby2025-03-18 Chalet Camille in Tignes, great facility, staff, location and outstanding service from enquiry to getting home from the week. Would suggest for anyone who wants a great ski break. EmLou B2025-02-22 Gives the impression of everything having been thought through, from bringing provisions for the lengthy coach transfers, to good relations with the ski shop so we were well treated there, lift passes sorted and a reminder to photo them so replacement would be smooth if required. Mads, Finn, Ben and Dave went out of their way to make our week in Chalet Orion, Val Thorens, memorable for all the right reasons. Food was delicious from start to finish and chalet was comfortable and well equipped. Only improvement needed is to WiFi but that requires copper to be replaced, meanwhile mobile data serves instead.
