Val Thorens is a hikers’ paradise, with numerous pedestrian hiking destinations for all levels.

The high altitude lakes and streams complement the extraordinary landscape and the valley is also a top destination for fishermen. Here is a tip for amateurs: As you stroll through the valley, visit an alpine chalet for an “exploratory and educational” break and taste traditional cheese made from goat, sheep or cow’s milk. You can also see the animals on the farm. This is an educative mountain activity for the entire family!

Walk along the Baroque pathways and explore the masterpieces of Savoyard baroque art. Bear witness to the Chapel Notre-Dame-de-la-Vie, built between 1650 and 1750. You will surely be fascinated by its luxurious interior of golden altarpieces and wooden pews.

For more educational activities visit the village museum and learn about how the resort was built. You can also explore the traditions of bygone times, presented as a picture story by the inhabitants. Burdin mill is another destination where you can get to know more about the rich heritage of this place. The mill was recently restored and you will be educated about its history and mode of operation. Hunt for other treasures of the valley in the surrounding villages. You will find ponds, hillocks and bread ovens from the past. One thing is certain, Val Thorens will not fail to surprise and fascinate you!

The mountain is a captivating destination throughout the year. It is certainly the ideal location for a family holiday loaded with tradition, modernity and sports!
