Vibrant nightlife and après-ski
As the sun sets, the après-ski in Val Thorens comes to life. The French village is known for its lively après-ski and nightlife, where you can end the day with a drink and a dance. A popular après-ski hotspot is the well-known 'La Folie Douce,' located on the blue Plein Sud slope. The party starts around 3:00 PM, often with a DJ and saxophonist. The music can be heard throughout the area, drawing skiers and snowboarders from all corners for a final party on the mountain.
Freeride and snowpark for adventurers
Val Thorens offers plenty of opportunities for adrenaline junkies. Freeriders can enjoy the vast off-piste areas, while freestylers can have a blast in the large snowpark. The park features numerous jumps and rails at various levels, allowing both beginners and advanced riders to have fun and improve their skills.
Limited options for cross-country skiing and hiking

The options for hikers are also limited, but there is an alternative: you can join a snowshoeing hike led by a guide. It’s a unique way to explore the stunning mountains of Val Thorens.
