A great resort for après ski with lots of choice through the night: The Red Fox up at the Balcons is crowded at close of play, and features a karaoke. At the opposite end of the resort, the Sherlock is always lively. The Frog and Roastbeef (Europe’s highest pub) at the top of the village is a cheerful British haunt with a live band at tea-time and half-price beer while it plays. The Friends and the Viking pub are all lively bars on the same block. The Underground nightclub in Place de Peclet has an extended happy hour but ‘descends into europop’ when its disco gets going. The Malaysia nightclub is a favourite hotspot, and always crowded after 11pm. For a quieter night out, check out O’connells and the St Pierre.

Over 45 restaurants ranging from simple crêperies to gourmet cuisine.

• Pizzas around 12 Euros • 3-course meal with wine approx. 26 Euros • Fondues, brasserades from 26 Euros with wine.
• Le Galoubet for traditional French dishes, the Scapin Pub for pizza and pasta dishes, Chalet des Glaciers for gourmet cuisine, Les Clarines for top class gastronomic delights.

Outdoor activities include tobogganing, snowshoeing, walking, paragliding and cross country trails. There are outdoor heated swimming pools and snow mobiles and mountain guides are available for hire.

Indoor activities include a good sports centre in Val Thorens (which has a fitness and relaxation suite, tennis, volley-ball, football, squash, badminton and table tennis facilities).

With a huge selection of gentle blues and a large nursery area, Val Thorens is ideal for families with children just learning to ski and for those ready to take the next step and embark on something slightly more challenging. Enthusiastic and passionate instructors from a large selection of very reliable ski schools will make your and your children’s learning experience second to none.
