Who says a winter holiday in Europe's highest resort is only about skiing? In Episode 8 of Transfer to Alps, hosts Liam and Chloe step off the groomed pistes to explore the wildest non-skiing and outdoor excursions across Val Thorens and the Belleville Valley.
With its permanent snowpack and extreme altitude, Val Thorens is a high-octane staging ground for unique winter bucket-list activities. We evaluate twenty distinct adventures beyond the chairlifts. Discover the adrenaline rush of ice driving and karting on the famous Alain Prost Ice Circuit—officially the highest ice track in Europe at 2,200m. We tackle the 6.5-kilometre descent of Cosmojet, the longest toboggan run in France, dropping 700 vertical metres from the foot of the Péclet glacier.
Take a dive beneath the frozen glass of high-altitude Lac du Lou (2,035m) in compressed neoprene drysuits, fly 250 metres above glaciers on La Tyrolienne zip-wire at 100 km/h, and cruise down empty slopes after dark on electric fat-tyre mountain bikes.
Tackling high-altitude excursions requires peak physical energy. Avoid travel fatigue and arrive in the resort with "fresh legs" by booking your professional private or shared airport transfer from Geneva with our team at Alps2Alps: https://www.alps2alps.com/ski-transfer-destinations/france/val-thorens/
