Mountain holidays are a well-established ritual for you: every year, for the Christmas holidays or the February holidays, it is the ideal time to go and recharge your batteries with family or friends. That’s already great, but have you tried going to the mountains in the spring? I hear you from here: “with the good weather, we prefer to go where it is warm”. Here are 6 reasons that will change your mind and push you to try skiing in April!
01
The ski conditions are ideal
In April, at Val Thorens, the weather is often nice and the snow is soft, less frozen and therefore pleasant to ski. We are at an altitude of 2300m, so there is no need to worry about the quality and quantity of the snow. The resort teams spare no effort to offer you top slopes even at the end of the season!
As a bonus: in April, you still have access to the 3 Valleys ski area, the largest ski area in the world ⛷️
02
You don't need to dress like Inuit
No need to pile on layers of clothing, you will be lighter and more comfortable to move! You can sometimes even ski in shorts and a t-shirt, as long as you aren't afraid to taste the freshness of the snow if you fall.
As the sun at this time of year is stronger and more generous than in winter, be sure to use a high protection sunscreen to avoid sunburn?
03
The days are longer
You have more time to enjoy your day and can therefore relax in a deckchair during the lunch break, take your time on the slopes, finish your ski day later and even watch the sunset with a good beer on the terrace (it’s good for recovery).
Do not miss : every Wednesday from February until the beginning of May, the Funitel de Péclet closes at 18:30 p.m. to extend the day of skiing, or to have an aperitif at the summit, your choice! All the information on the page Péclet by Night.
04
There are more outdoor activities
More than ever, in spring, activities and events take place outdoors Val Thorens. The atmospheric bars on the slopes welcome headliners such as during the JBL Snowparty; Activities in the resort and in the ski area are enjoyed well after the slopes have closed and the weeks are punctuated by activities for young and old. Find out what awaits you in our entertainment schedule.
05
There are fewer people on the slopes and in the resort
This makes it easier to let go, relax and come back from your vacation invigorated and invigorated. This is also a good time of the season for beginners. You will have the choice in your trajectories on the slopes and will not need to wait at the ski lifts.
This also applies to the road, no more traffic jams in December or February, in April, even during school holidays, traffic is much less on the roads.
06
There are great offers
The month of April is often synonymous with end of season offers. The prices are more advantageous, there are fewer people but the snow is still just as good!
So, convinced? Let's start the bet! If you come once to Val Thorens in spring, there is no doubt that you will return to this same period in subsequent years!
PS: Val Thorens, we ski from November to May, if you are unable to come in April, we expect you at the beginning of May for our closing weekend: La Grande Dernière.
