| | Val Thorens - World Snowboard Guide |
 | | Set at the head of the Belleville valley, at an altitude of over 2,200 metres, Val Thorens is the highest resort in Europe and for some, one of the best. |
 | | An extremely popular resort attracting millions of package tour groups, Val Thorens is a large, modern, purpose-built resort, carefully designed so that you never have far to go for the slopes. |
 | | Location is a key element here: if you're in the lower levels of one of the many apartment blocks, you may even be able to leap out of the nest, strap on your board, ollie over the balcony and land in a lift line, ready to be dragged up to the wide, open piste. |
