Car parks

Do you want to take advantage of your stay in the mountains to fully disconnect from your daily life? That's good, Val Thorens is a semi-pedestrian station, which restricts parking on its streets in winter!

Everything you need to know about parking in Val Thorens

In Val Thorens, parking in car parks is compulsory,which has many advantages:

• Enjoy resort life peacefully: no cars parked in front of your building entrance or big traffic jams in the streets at the end of the day.
• You don't have to worry about your vehicle: I promise, it will be well parked!
• At the end of your stay, no snow removal from the car, no defrosting of the windshield... you save time to enjoy the real pleasures of the mountains!

When you arrive by car in Val Thorens, here are the steps to follow

Step n ° 1

I make a “minute stop” in front of my accommodation to drop off my luggage and my whole family who will be delighted to stretch their legs in the snowy streets of the resort!

Step n ° 2

I head to the parking lot closest to my accommodation, which I find thanks on the resort map. The Valthoparc team will welcome you at the P2 car park, open 24/24, or at the P7/P7 car parks where automatic cash registers are at your disposal.

• If you are parked at P0, P1 or P2, you are inside the station, so you can reach your accommodation on foot or using the station shuttle.
• If you are parked at P3 or P4, you are outside the station, a free shuttle serves the center of the station. Schedules to consult here.
• To facilitate your arrival, you can reserve your parking space online now and up to 7 days before your arrival (after this period, you will have to buy your ticket at the automatic ticket counters in car parks P0 and P1 or at the ticket counters in car park P2 on your arrival at Val Thorens).
• For people arriving by motorhome, your parking will be P2D, directly at the entrance to the resort. Attention ! Reservations are required on the Valthoparc site minimum 7 days before your arrival. You must be self-sufficient in electricity because there is no charging station (Flot Bleu terminal only).

Step n ° 3

During my stay, I have two options for getting around the station:

• By free shuttle: they run in the station every day from 8 a.m. to 20 p.m. and serve all areas of the station. (Timetables and service plan to find here)
• Walk : what could be better than taking the time to discover Val Thorens on foot to immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the resort? According to Val Thorinois, this is the best way to fully enjoy the magic of the high mountains (the resort can be crossed in 20 minutes on foot).

Good to know

• Your parking will be allocated to you based on the height of your vehicle, the location of your accommodation, your dates of stay as well as availability at that time. Here are the height limits for each of the station’s car parks:
