Enjoy winter holidays in Val Thorens in January

The end-of-year celebrations are now over, but Val Thorens doesn't fall into slumber! Throughout January, there are still plenty of activities available in the resort and across the slopes. You can indulge in a variety of sports and relaxation activities, enjoying a more peaceful stay than during the Christmas holidays.

Abundant snowfall at the beginning of the year

Thanks to its altitude, Val Thorens enjoys exceptional snow coverage throughout the winter season. And this is particularly true in January, right in the heart of winter! In fact, snowfall is expected to continue in the coming days, ensuring excellent conditions for the weeks ahead in Les 3 Vallées ski area, often with fresh snow in the morning. The vast majority of slopes are currently open, as well as numerous fun areas, sledging tracks, pedestrian paths, and more.

Snow activities for all ages and levels

Even outside school holidays, Val Thorens is vibrant, and the ski area offers such a variety of activities that every holidaymaker can find something to enjoy. Alpine skiing and snowboarding are, of course, the main winter sports and can be practised on groomed slopes and recreational spaces that will be less crowded in January. They cater to all levels, from beginners wanting a gentle introduction to skiing to seasoned snowboarders fond of tricks on snowparks. But Les 3 Vallées also offer freeride skiing off the beaten tracks, ski touring, freeride skiing combined with hiking, snowshoe walks to venture further from the slopes, sledging for kids and adults, night skiing at the Péclet Funitel, and more. To make the most of these outdoor sports experiences, remember to book your equipment online. At Sport 2000 Eskiador, we can meet a wide range of needs for skiing and hiking equipment.

And if you want to diversify your pleasures, don't hesitate to try other snow or ice activities in Val Thorens and the surrounding villages. From snowmobiling tours to ice climbing, electric FatBike rides, Snake Gliss, sled dog rides, and much more, the whole family has plenty to enjoy and create unforgettable memories!

Entertainment and relaxation after skiing

After a day filled with emotions and incredible panoramas on the ski area, you probably want to relax, have fun, or enjoy a good mountain meal. All of this is possible during a stay in Val Thorens, which offers a plethora of activities in the evening or when the weather is less favourable. Why not head to the Val Thorens Sports Centre for a peaceful moment in the wellness area? Take a few laps in the pool? Go to the cinema? Have a drink at a bar in the resort? Or, for something more unusual, spend an evening in a yurt or discover the backstage during a groomer ride?
And for those who love traditional cuisine, brasserie dishes, or more refined gastronomy, Val Thorens also boasts quality establishments that welcome you both in peak season and outside school holidays.
