Snowboarding in Val Thorens, France

Some time ago I went to Val Thorens in France for the Boarder Week. It's every year one week before christmas and it is regarded as the official start of the skiing and boarding season in the so called Trois Vallées (consisting of Vallée des Belleville, Vallée de Méribel and Vallée de Courchevel). It's supposed to be the biggest ski ressort in Europe and maybe even the world.

If you like skiing and/or boarding it's definitely a must to go there as it is really huge and you can easily spent two weeks and you still haven't seen every ski run. And if you like to make party it is also quite nice as bars stay open all night long.
