Summer Season at Val Thorens

While primarily famous for its winter sports, Val Thorens transforms into a tranquil yet active mountain paradise during the summer months. The high-altitude environment provides refreshing cool air, ideal for escaping the heat of lower elevations. Summer activities focus heavily on reconnecting with nature: an extensive network of hiking and mountain biking trails opens up, offering stunning panoramic views of the Vanoise National Park and its surrounding peaks. Lifts like the Funitel de Péclet often operate, providing easy access to higher altitudes for walks. Specific activities include glacier hiking (conditions permitting), via ferrata routes, and a multi-sport centre offering indoor pools and various games. The resort adopts a much quieter, more serene vibe, appealing to nature lovers, families, and those seeking peaceful outdoor pursuits away from the crowds.
