A week ago, the Worlds Ski Awards were held, recognizing the world’s best ski areas. And for the 10th time, this resort in the French Alps has taken the prize over other resorts from all over the world. Come and discover this winter sports paradise and its 600 kilometers of slopes at an altitude of 2,300 meters.
A French ski resort at the top of the world’s ski areas
At the summit of the French Alps, at the heart of the legendary Trois Vallées ski area, Val Thorens once again confirms its status as a must-see resort. The 2025 edition of the World Ski Awards has just named the resort “World’s Best Ski Resort”, in recognition of its top-class lifts, accommodation and visible commitment to snow and services.
The resort’s altitude plays a key role: at 2,300 metres, it is one of the highest villages in Europe, and enjoys reliable snow cover throughout the season. The Trois Vallées area offers a huge playground in general, while Val Thorens invests every season in modernizing its lifts, the quality of its accommodation and its après-ski experiences.
But in addition to its long, well-groomed runs, number of lifts and well-designed beginner zones, Val-Thorens also shines for its ambience and activities. With its top-of-the-range residences and varied services, restaurants and even spas, the resort attracts both sports enthusiasts and families looking for a cosy break.
This season, the slopes open on November 22. It’s the perfect opportunity to hurtle down the 600 kilometers of slopes at this resort, which has been awarded the title for the 10th time since the Awards were created in 2013.
