Val Thorens isn’t only about skiing. Far away from the summer madness, the crowded beaches, the city pollution, Val Thorens is the perfect place for summer in the mountains. Indeed, the stations count a lot of outdoor activities : Tennis, mini-golf, summer sleigh or even hiking. Benefiting from 50 marked path on 300km, the pedestrians, hikers and bikers will enjoy discovering the wide-open spaces and the beautiful landscapes. You can also use the ski lift to go faster to the main peaks of the valley. What’s best than a family hiking starting from the Cime Caron at 3200m altitude, then going to the wolf lake.
The big thrill enthusiast will also enjoy their stay with a bit of rafting or paraglider.
At 2300m altitude, Val Thorens is the place to be for all your summer holiday desire (or winter, as well)
