Snowparks in Val Thorens

VT Park

Val Thorens has a fantastic 70,000m² snowpark on the Plateaux Pistes. You can access the VT Park from the Moutière chairlift, and the Plateaux drag lift allows you to slide back up to the top once you've jumped and somersaulted (hopefully on purpose) your way through the course!

This park does have some proper kickers and for years it was Val Thorens that had the biggest park in the Three Valleys. You can still find some fairly meaty wedges here and thanks to the parks high position they stay in good shape until late in the season.

All the runs are colour coded the same as pistes depending on their difficulty: green to black. The snowpark has five zones; a boardercross (800m long), three freestyle zones which are classified according to their technical difficulty (beginners, intermediates and experts) and a Jump'Air (a jump with arrival on a "stunt man's" mattress, airbag). The snowpark contains Whoops (a succession of waves), a corner (raised bend), a jump table and big air, a wall ride (extended snow wall), a hand rail and a half pipe.

VT Family Park

A family fun zone with a multitude of modules with a space theme. A long fun track with whoops, a slalom and boxes.  When you need a rest there's a picnic area with bean bags and deck chairs.

The Family Park in Courchevel is getting bigger and better as every winter rolls by. Located alongside the Verdons piste just above the village at 1850, the park is sure to entertain all levels of freestyle rider. The novice freestylers can try their hand at the gentle snow cross course, the speed gun and an array of green kickers and boxes.

For those looking to push themselves, there is plenty to dig their teeth into (metaphorically, of course. Nobody wants to hit a box and ruin those pearly whites!) The red kickers in the "Big Air" section are closer to black grade than red. The blue boxes, quarter pipe and swimming pool give ample opportunity to get the legs popping and the skis and boards spinning.

Of course, there's the airbag to test out all those gnarly new tricks without the fear of injury. Pay per jump or buy a five jumps pass or at an hourly rate, there's plenty of time to master those backflips and 360's.
