Luxury holidays in Val Thorens

When to go

The ski season is from early December until April, with Christmas and school holidays the busiest times. It’s very quiet in the off-peak months, with many hotels and restaurants closing for the summer.

Getting there

• Planes

  Fly into either Geneva or Lyon – they’re both 200 kilometres away, and the drive through the mountains will take around two and a half hours.

• Automobiles

  Once you’re here, you’ll spend most of your time on skis, but if you want a car for day trips, hire one at the airport.
