Having been awarded the title of "World's Best Ski Resort" 8 times, Val Thorens is once again putting its title up for grabs this year in the hope of a 9ᵉ award!

The results of the World Ski Awards will be officially published on 11 November 2024: with the aim of offering skiers and holidaymakers from all over the world a unique experience in a most exhilarating atmosphere, season after season. Is this a new opportunity for recognition that awaits the renowned 3 Vallées resort?

The World Ski Awards: a new set of awards in the ski tourism industry

Every year since 2013, the World Ski Awards have rewarded the best organisations in the ski tourism industry: from hotels to chalets, specialist travel agencies and ski resorts.

Every year, hundreds of thousands of professionals, skiers and tourists from all over the world come together to vote for their favourite candidates. The aim of this global initiative is simple: to highlight and reward the excellence of those involved in ski tourism, but also to encourage a new era of growth in the sector.

It's against this backdrop that, in 11 editions, Val Thorens has broken all records by being voted by the general public as the world's best ski resort 8 times!

Val Thorens, a world-renowned ski resort

In 10 years of World Ski Awards, Val Thorens has won the prize for best resort in the world 8 times, and best resort in France 11 times. An exceptional record of achievement, demonstrating the seriousness and quality of the services, facilities and work of everyone involved in Val Thorens.

All our professionals are working to make Europe's highest resort a unique place where everyone can progress at their own pace.

Located at the heart of the world's largest ski area, the 3 Vallées, Val Thorens opens its doors every year to thousands of holidaymakers and enthusiasts from all over the world. A magical atmosphere, unique experiences and memorable activities await families and friends looking for a holiday to remember.

A new title within reach for Val Thorens

The World Ski Awards are back in 2024! In recent years, only Kitzbühel in Austria (in 2015) and Verbier in Switzerland (in 2021 and 2022) have managed to dethrone Val Thorens. While the competition is just as tough this year, the Savoyard resort's chances of another first place finish are not to be underestimated.

Voting is now closed, so we look forward to seeing you on 11 November to discover the official results of the 2024 edition of the World Ski Awards. This news comes at just the right time, with only ten days to go before the annual reopening of Val Thorens.
