1. The Combe de Caron run – The high-mountain experience

Accessible from the legendary summit of Cime Caron, this red run is one of the most impressive in Val Thorens. 360° panorama, high-mountain atmosphere, often excellent snow… it is an unmissable descent. Our tip: go on a clear day to enjoy the exceptional view of the Alps.

2. The Christine run – For strong skiers

Rated black, Christine is a technical, committed run, but incredibly beautiful. Located in a wild environment, it gives a real “nature” skiing feeling. Our tip: best in good snow conditions, and preferably early in the day.

3. The Plein Sud run – Accessible pleasure

A wide, sunny red run, Plein Sud is perfect for linking turns smoothly. Ideal for intermediate skiers who want to enjoy themselves without excessive difficulty. Our tip: perfect in late morning, when the snow starts to change slightly.
