Val Thorens Winter 2022-23 Season Opening Delayed
16th November 2022
An independent guide to Val Thorens
16th November 2022
Val Thorens was due to open on Saturday 19th November 2022, but the start of the ski season has been delayed until Saturday 26th November.
France Bleu Pays de Savoie quotes Val Thorens as follows:
'Currently the snow cover does not allow people to ski back to the resort. The weather has been very anticyclonic this Autumn, and so we can't open the resort and its ski area and offer the quality that we would wish.'
The snow cover high up is satisfactory, but not at resort level.
Tignes and Val d'Isère are also due to open on 26th November.
