SKI CROSS. Bolstered by its experience organising a number of French and European Ski Cross Cups, the resort of Val Thorens is taking one step up the podium and welcoming the FIS Ski Cross World Cup from the 17th to the 19th of December 2012.

Val Thorens « MULTICOLOURED SNOW »

Val Thorens is the highest resort in Europe with an altitude of 2.300 metres. 
Open from November the 24th 2012 to May the 12th 2013, its site, boasting remarkable sunshine and snow cover, is surrounded by 6 glaciers and 6 equipped mountain peaks at altitudes of more than 3,000 metres, including the famous Cime Caron (3,200 m) with unique panoramic views. At the top of the “3 Vallées”, it opens out onto the largest ski area in the world, with more than 600 kilometres of equipped slopes. The ski resort is situated in a singular, open and sunny place where we live skis in feet, where everything is simple and was thought for the being …

The Ski Cross World Cup

Val Thorens will welcome the Ski Cross World Cup the 17, 18 and 19 December 2012.
A cross between Alpine and freestyle skiing, ski cross is simple and easy for spectators to follow, which is why the discipline inspires such enthusiasm. Skiing on a Boardercross zone: an undulating run punctuated with banked turns and a series of snow modules that require the skier to jump. The skiers take off on impressive distances and the battle for the first place rages, transforming the competitors into real gladiators of snows.
Suspense, Action, Emotion, the Ski Cross possesses all the ingredients of a real Show!
