Val Thorens - Tarentaise Valley Skiing

Tarentaise Valley Skiing

Within the Tarentaise Valley you find the biggest concentration of ski resorts in the world. The most well-known neighbour systems are Paradiski (Les Arcs, La Plagne) and Espace Killy (Val d'Isère and Tignes). A weekly lift ticket in Val Thorens/Les Trois Vallées provides the choice to ski one day in each of the other two systems mentioned. There were once plans to interlink all systems and resorts to create the largest ski area in the world. However that vision was ended with the creation of the Vanoise National Park.
