The Grande Première in Val Thorens - Opening postponed
Opening of val thorens POSTPONED TO 26 NOVEMBER 2022
INFORMATION FROM 13/11/2022:
Despite a strong desire to launch the winter season with you from November 19th, the particularly anti-cyclonic autumn weather did not allow us to open the resort and its ski area at the level of quality that we wish to offer you. So the motivated and confident teams of Val Thorens have decided to postpone the opening.
At the moment the snow cover at altitude is satisfactory but does not allow a return to the resort on foot. All the teams are already on the ground to prepare the ski area with a forecast opening for the weekend of November 26th.
