Night skiing, your safety is our priority
Skiing at night is a real challenge. To be able to take part in such an evening, certain precautions need to be taken to ensure everyone's safety.
First of all, note that only certain slopes are open on this occasion, in the Péclet sector. These are the Tête Ronde piste (blue) and the Christine piste (red).
The Funitel at Péclet is the perfect place for the curious to take to the slopes and enjoy this unique evening! However, you will need a valid Val Thorens/Orelle ski pass to do this; a pedestrian pass will not be valid.
The success of such an evening depends on one non-negotiable parameter: the weather conditions. In the event of heavy snowfall or any other phenomenon that could jeopardise the safety of skiers, this evening activity will have to be suspended.
