Val Thorens is a fabulous ski resort in the French Alps, located
in Tarentaise Valley, Savoie and is currently the highest ski resort
in Europe.
Due to it's altitude it offers a slightly longer
ski period, usually November to the beginning of May, perhaps this is
the reason that it's the most visited ski resort in France.
I loved reading about the lifts in Val Thorens, they sound so fun:
Magic carpets, draglifts, gondolas etc and 4 funitels (wind resistant
cable cars) it all sounds so fabulous.
It's not just skiing
either, you can go Ice Driving (yes that's right, Ice driving!), paragliding,
outdoor Yoga classes, Ice Diving and one thing that would be top of
my list would be the Tyrolienne zipline, it looks epic.
It's all happening in Val Thorens! The lead up to New Year has a
plethora of events, including Ski And Boardweek, Magical Christmas with
the traditional torch lit procession of the ESF instructors. (Please
check locally as this year's events are yet to be announced)
Come the big night it's Valtho Crazy Night where you head to Caron Place
for a party with musicians, fire eaters, jugglers and acrobats. Full schedule
here.
As with most Ski Resorts, the bars and clubs will all be having their
own New Years Celebrations, probably Ticket Only so if you haven't pre-booked
I'd check the venue before you turn up!
If you're dining
out on New Year, make sure you book well in advance to avoid disappointment,
no one wants to be drinking that champers on an empty stomach! Here
are just a few of the restaurants you may want to check out.
