"Perched high in the Tarentaise Valley in southeastern France, Val Thorens sits above roughly 2,300 meters (7,545 feet), making it the highest-altitude ski resort in Europe. Its elevation gives it one of the continent's longest and most reliable winter seasons, often stretching from November into May. The resort is also a core hub of the renowned Les 3 Vallées , the world's largest interconnected ski area."
"The massive network links seven major resorts, including Courchevel, Méribel, Brides-les-Bains, and others, delivering nearly 640 kilometers (about 398 miles) of groomed runs served by one of the most advanced lift systems on the planet.
