What’s new in the ski area
Giant letters on the slopes
There are (at least) 197 of you who ask us each year… so we did it!
Find our 2 giant letterings on the green piste Traversée des 2 lacs (2 lakes chairlift) and the blue piste Traversée de montaulever (chairlift or 3 Vallées funitel).
Two easily accessible slopes and carefully chosen viewpoints to allow you to take perfect photos!
A panoramic footbridge at Cime Caron
Inaugurated this winter, the new Cime Caron panoramic footbridge gives access to a rotunda suspended in the void and offers an exceptional panorama of the resort and the peaks that surround it.
A central well allows you to see the void beneath your feet and the peaks are directly engraved on the windows, enough to be unbeatable the next time someone asks you “is that Mont Blanc?”.
Upcoming projects: Already undergoing transformation, Cime Caron will welcome, from the 2024/2025 season, a new building. Connected to the existing pedestrian tunnel, it will accommodate a panoramic terrace, a wine cellar, as well as a bar/restaurant service. A place that will certainly become essential to enjoy a 360° panorama with a view of Mont Blanc.
A new ski touring trail
Open since the beginning of January 2024, the new ski touring trail, in partnership with Salomon, is made up of two sections: Petite Sud and Grande Sud.
The trail starts in the Balcons district at the Les Balcons Platinium residence in Val Thorens and arrives at the Chardons red trail picnic area.
With a total length of 3,83 kilometers, this track offers you a positive altitude difference of 408m.
A ski slope in the name of Chloé Trespeuch
It's an honor to have a track in my name on my favorite area, where I grew up, from the first snowplow to the Olympic goals.
At 29 years old, Chloé Trespeuch already has a great track record: eight years after her bronze medal won in Sochi in 2014, she is Olympic snowboardcross vice-champion at the Beijing Olympics in 2022 and world number 2 this season. Licensed to the club Val Thorens Since the age of 6, she first started with skiing but quickly moved towards snowboarding. She joined the French snowboard team in 2009 and very quickly obtained results which promised her a brilliant future in the discipline. Val Thorens had to honor her ambassador with her radiant smile, by inaugurating a track in her name, where she “learned, fell, progressed, doubted, loved”.
The Chloé Trespeuch stadium is accessible by taking the blue Chalets slope from the 2 Lacs chairlift.
What's new in terms of activities
Malaysia, complete makeover for the largest resort club in the world
Mythical club of Val Thorens, Malaysia began a complete transformation last summer. For its 39th season, a completely redesigned concept awaits clubbers. New logo, new space, new concept, new sound and image techniques, Malaysia displays a real ambition of “nightclub of the 3rd millennium”.
On the sound side, it is none other than Laurent Garnier, icon of international electronic culture who helped to rethink the acoustics of the box. It was in Vienna, at the Grelle Forelle club, that he went to find “the best sound in the world” to install it in Malaysia. On the spatial and visual side, the club called on Alexandre Courtès, renowned film and music video director, to rework the entire concept and visual design. The general idea of the project: transform the entire place into a visual space, with a volume and animations that immerse the viewer in a playful universe.
Finally, on the practical side, the entrance to the club will be moved to the bottom of Place Caron to allow clubbers to wait in a warm environment thanks to an underground access corridor that can accommodate up to 200 people. So a brand new, cutting-edge club awaits party-goers this season!

Hotel Fahrenheit 7 ****
The establishment continues to renovate and redecorate the rooms while keeping its sporty and festive DNA. The state of mind of °F7 is impertinent, offbeat and warm: decoration of the premises, employee uniforms, menus and musical programming, nothing is left to chance. Whether in live acoustic format in the cozy atmosphere of Zinc (hotel bar), in a private DJ set version during the Seven Party or even in après-ski mode on the terrace, the °F7 events are The Place To Be hotel!
