Planning a group ski holiday isn’t always easy. You need a resort with plenty of accommodation, great après-ski, and reliable snow — all at a price that works for everyone. That’s where Val Thorens comes in. As the highest ski resort in Europe and part of the 3 Valleys, it’s become a favourite for groups of friends, university trips, and anyone who loves a lively atmosphere. Here’s why Val Thorens is such a great choice for groups.

 

One of the biggest frustrations on a group trip is waiting around for transport. In Val Thorens, almost all chalets and apartments are ski-in/ski-out. That means no buses, no long walks, and no hassle. Everyone in the group can ski at their own pace, knowing they can easily get back to the accommodation at the end of the day.

 

Val Thorens has no shortage of accommodation options for groups — with many apartments located in the same residences or complexes, it’s easy for everyone to stay close together even if you’re not all under one roof. This makes it perfect for large groups of friends or extended families who want to be in the same place but still enjoy their own space.

Larger apartments and chalets do exist, some sleeping 8–12 guests, but they’re in high demand and tend to book up quickly — especially for peak weeks. If your group is looking for one big property, it’s worth planning early to secure it.

On our site, you’ll find a wide selection of chalets and apartments in Val Thorens — from budget-friendly residences where groups can book multiple apartments side by side, to rare, larger chalets with hot tubs and ski-in/ski-out access.

 

Despite being in the 3 Valleys, Val Thorens is often better value than Courchevel or Méribel. With plenty of self-catered apartments and modern residences, groups can find accommodation that suits their budget while still enjoying one of the world’s premier ski areas.

 

Val Thorens is famous for its party atmosphere. After skiing, head to La Folie Douce or Bar 360 for live DJs and dancing on the slopes, or venture into town for bars and clubs. For late nights, there’s Malaysia, the biggest nightclub in the Alps, where groups can dance until the early hours.

 

Not everyone in a group skis the whole time, and that’s another reason Val Thorens works so well. The resort offers loads of activities that groups can enjoy together:

There’s always something to keep the whole group entertained.

 

At 2,300m, Val Thorens is the highest resort in Europe. Snow is guaranteed from November through May, which means you don’t need to worry about planning the “wrong” week. For groups, that’s peace of mind — you know the conditions will be great, whenever you travel.

 

With its ski-in/ski-out convenience, wide choice of accommodation, lively après-ski, and snow-sure slopes, Val Thorens ticks every box for a group ski holiday. Whether you’re planning a trip with friends, colleagues, or a big family get-together, it’s a resort that makes group travel simple, fun, and unforgettable.
