A Guide to the Val Thorens Valley
Val Thorens, real name Belleville, is the third valley that makes up the Three Valley Ski area. It is the highest valley in the ski area and home to the Val Thorens ski resort, the highest in Europe. Val Thorens (with the exception of St Martin) couldn't be further from the other two valleys in terms of its traditional alpine charm, however, what it lacks in charm, it makes up for by often having the best snow conditions and piste access, with the vast majority of properties throughout the valley being purpose built on the slopes.
