Val Thorens (The 3 Valleys)

THERE'S MORE KILOMETRES OF PISTE IN THIS RESORT THAN BETWEEN LONDON AND PARIS, SO THERE'S NO DENYING - THIS IS ONE PICTURESQUE PLAYGROUND

Perched at the peak of the Three Valleys, Val Thorens is Europe's highest purpose-built resort, and one that is way up there in our opinion too.  With a massive 140km of runs, it can't easily ignored - especially when you consider that it is only one part of the Three Valleys - a 600km stretch of pure piste paradise.

And the fun doesn't stop there.  Where would mountains be without their bars, clubs and parties? The Lake District - that's where. Val Thorens is home to one of the best party circuits in the Alps, producing an eclectic mix of thumping basslines and lively clubs to rival resorts worldwide.  Even in our own Yeti bar, we like to get the party started with some pretty elaborate fire shows and have built up quite a reputation for ourselves.  There's a reason why our resident DJs consider this their favourite resort and it's probably not for the tranquility.
