Les Balcons de Val Thorens, Val Thorens
Perched high above Val Thorens, Les Balcons is where big mountain views meet the easy rhythm of ski life. With slope access just steps away and warm, welcoming apartments to return to, it’s the kind of place where ski days melt seamlessly into slow, cosy evenings.
Sitting at 2,300m, this part of Val Thorens is about as snow-sure as it gets. You're right in the Three Valleys ski area, with over 600km of pistes to explore. It's all on your doorstep, from wide open beginner slopes to steep reds, long cruisy blues, and serious off-piste. The Plein Sud lift is just around the corner, giving you fast access to the rest of the resort and beyond. On a good snow day, you can even ski straight back to the residence.
The location strikes a nice balance. You're close to the shops, bars, and restaurants of Val Thorens, but not right in the noisy centre. So you can enjoy the buzz when you want it and switch off when you don't. It's ideal for families, groups, or anyone who likes a more relaxed pace off the slopes.
The apartments are traditional in style but feel fresh and homely. Expect lots of warm wood, soft lighting, and mountain touches that give them character. A range of sizes are available, sleeping up to sixteen in the largest apartments. Whether you're travelling as a couple, a family, or a big group of friends, there's an option that fits. Many have balconies with brilliant views across the valley.
Inside, you'll find everything you need for a comfortable stay: fully equipped kitchens with ovens, hobs, and dishwashers, generous living spaces with sofas you can sink into, and plenty of storage for ski kit. Bathrooms are clean and functional, and there's free Wi-Fi throughout. It's a practical setup but still warm and welcoming.
The residence also has a wellness area with an indoor pool, sauna, and fitness room. It's a great spot to unwind after a full day on the mountain. There’s a handy ski room with lockers and boot dryers downstairs, so you can get out the door in the morning without faff. There are a couple of good restaurants within the residence, including L'Auberge des Balcons, which serves hearty mountain food in a cosy setting - perfect if you don't feel like cooking. If you do want to self-cater, there's a supermarket nearby, and your kitchen has everything you need to whip up an easy post-ski meal.
You'll also find a pub-style bar with a relaxed vibe and a solid drinks list - ideal for an easy après or a quiet nightcap. And if you're after something livelier, Val Thorens is packed with options, from buzzing après spots like La Folie Douce to wine bars, live music venues, and late-night clubs. Linen and end-of-stay cleaning (except the kitchen) are included, and you can add extras like bed-making or mid-week cleaning to make life even easier. Underground parking is available for an extra charge and should be booked in advance, especially during peak weeks.
Les Balcons de Val Thorens is a great choice if you're after easy slope access, a laid-back atmosphere, and a comfortable space to recharge between ski sessions. It's not flashy but solid, well-located, and has all the little details that make a ski trip run smoothly. You can wake up, step outside, and get straight into the snow without missing a beat.
