Beginners
Get started on the green runs around the village and cruise around the Deux Lac chairlift. The more adventurous could try the Plein Sud chair, which offers access to the Méribel Valley.
Intermediate
Val Thorens is an intermediate rider's playground. There are plenty of pistes where it's possible to open it up with some high speed carves, and there are some great cat tracks to jump off in good snow. Cime de Caron is a likely spot for these. If you fancy trying your hand at some creative jibbing then head to Boismint area, where there are some interesting features to be found. Likewise the area around the Grand Fond Funitele.
Advanced
A bit of exploring up Cime de Caron and La Masse will soon open your eyes to the jaw-dropping amount of terrain on offer here - it simply beggars belief. A lot of the best runs are closely guarded secrets, so the best way to go is befriend a local or hire a guide. A trip down to Orelle is highly recommended, especially for its kicker building potencial.
Kids
Kids under five get a free lift pass. Bring poof of identity.
Flat light days
There has to be a flip side to the 'highest resort in Europe' coin, and it's this: there are no trees in Val Thorens. Your only hope is to head over to the Méribel Valley to play around on the Combes and Table Verte chairs in Mottaret.
