Overview

Montana Soleil is a great choice for a self-catering ski stay with a traditional alpine feel. Its charming chalet-style exterior gives way to cosy 1 and 2-bedroom apartments, complete with warm wood interiors and comfortable living spaces. Sleeping up to six, they’re ideal for couples, families or small groups and each one comes with a south-facing balcony, perfect for soaking up some sun between runs.

Location-wise, it’s hard to beat. You can ski straight back to the boot room via a blue run, making the end of the day effortless. Mornings are just as simple too just cross the road and you’re back on the piste. Tucked slightly away from some of the busier neighbouring Montana properties, it’s a good pick if you prefer a quieter, more relaxed atmosphere after skiing.

You’ll also have everything you need close at hand, including an on-site ski hire shop and a nearby bakery offering a handy breakfast delivery service. There are plenty of restaurants and après-ski spots within easy reach, and if you’re in the mood to unwind further, you can access the spa facilities at Résidence Montana Plein Sud for an extra treat.

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!
