For security reasons as well as the comfort of our clients, traffic is restricted in Val Thorens and parking is controlled. Now a pedestrian resort, stopping in front of the place you're staying at is of course allowed in order to unload your luggages. But then, your vehicle will have to be parked in one of the open-air or covered lots of the resort, where the VALTHOPARC team will welcome your 24h/24h. Then a free shuttle service is at your disposal to reach your hotel or apartment.
This system of compulsory paying car parks is a necessity for resorts which, like Val Thorens, can face extreme weather conditions. But making up for the organisational constraints that this induces, pedestrians and drivers will definitely appreciate the resulting sense of well-being...and the clean air that this sytems brings.
