What our clients are saying

 | Date of review: 05-Mar-2011
"We had not stayed in Val Thorens before and, although it is not as picturesque as some resorts, it was well laid out and we found some very good restaurants. The resort was exceptionally busy as it was February half term but we enjoyed the skiing which was mostly excellent. It suited our skiing level and we could have been more challenged if we'd wanted. We would have been less comfortable if we had been beginners."
