Skiing Val Thorens from Vienna
Val Thorens sits 2300–3230 m in France. Flying via CMF, then a 110 km transfer. About 5.2 hours door to door.
Worth knowing. Purpose-built and treeless — a whiteout leaves you nothing to see by.
Pre-season — snow reliability. There is no meaningful snow on the models yet, so resorts are ranked on how snow-sure they are: altitude adjusted for latitude, glacier cover and the size of the ski area. Live scoring resumes automatically once the snow arrives. How we rank
