Overview
Perched directly on the slopes of Val Thorens, the 5-star Altapura offers an outstanding ski-in, ski-out location just steps from the Plein Sud chairlift and the vast 3 Vallées ski area. Guests can enjoy sweeping views of snow-covered peaks from bright, contemporary rooms, with the added convenience of returning straight to the hotel after a day on the mountain.
The wellness area is a key highlight, designed for full post-ski relaxation. Facilities include a connected indoor-outdoor pool, sauna, hammam, hot tub and a spa offering a range of treatments, creating an ideal space to unwind after skiing.
Dining is flexible, with the option of room-only stays or adding breakfast and evening meals. The hotel also features three à la carte restaurants: Casa Alta for brasserie-style dishes, Altayaki for Asian-European fusion cuisine, and La Laiterie for traditional cheese-based specialities such as fondue. For après-ski, the SKIBAR offers a lively atmosphere with drinks and regular live music throughout the week.

About Val Thorens
Val Thorens skiing
At 2300m, Val Thorens is the highest ski resort in Europe, meaning the resort has a great snow record. Put simply, if there's no snow in Val Thorens then there's no snow anywhere! Forming part of the 600km Three Valleys ski domain, Val Thorens' extended skiing is excellent, with intermediates being particularly spoilt for choice. Advanced skiers also have plenty to play on with big moguls and access to the Maurienne Valley for off-piste adventures. In addition there's an excellent Snowpark to keep freestylers busy. Beginners too can enjoy Val Thorens with several gentle greens and easy blues scattered around the resort. There is no better all-around ski area anywhere in Europe, possibly the World.
Val Thorens ski resort
As the resort is traffic-free and purpose-built, most accommodation options offer ski-in-ski-out accessibility. As well as being Europe's highest resort and part of the biggest linked ski area, Val Thorens has gained a reputation in recent years as a lively apres ski destination. The arrival of the raucous Folie Douce and the slightly more chilled Bar 360 mean that your apres ski party begins on the slopes in mid-afternoon. Back in resort you've got a choice of several bustling pubs, including Europe's highest in the Frog and Roastbeef. If you're still thirsty for more then the Alps' biggest underground nightclub, Malaysia, stays open almost until first lifts in the morning!
It's not all partying though. Val Thorens has developed many facilties over the years, including an indoor leisure centre with pool, extensive shopping, ice-driving, the list goes on!
