Accommodation

If you don’t want to spend any extra money on accommodation then don’t worry – our standard accommodation is more than adequate. We take over the end of one of Val Thorens’ main streets so everyone will be next door to each other.

Room sizes vary from 4 to 8 people with the majority being 4 or 5 person apartments. All the apartments feature their own self-catering kitchens, as we as bath or shower facilities. Over 1,600 students will be in the largest of the accommodation blocks, Temples du Soleil, which has direct access to the piste. There are two other apartment blocks adjacent to this, Le Cheval Blanc and Silver Alp, which are less the 100m from the piste. The Altineige, meanwhile, is located in the centre of resort, with its lower floors leading straight onto the snow and a ski hire shop and bakery on-site.

Temples du Soleil is the hub of the trip, where Varsity Trip HQ will be situated. You’ll be able to find reps here throughout the week. TDS also boasts a supermarket and a pizzeria and is where you’ll be able to pick up that all important stash!

For those who feel like a bit more luxury - we have a limited number of self-catering apartments which are considerably more spacious and located right by Varsity Trip Head Quarters.

Just across the street from the other participants, this spacious accommodation will provide a more comfortable experience. There is the option to buy wifi for your room upon arrival and the apartment block is ski-to-door. Room sizes vary from 2 to 9 per apartment, with the majority being 6 or 7 person apartments. This option sold out almost as soon as booking opened last year so make sure you're quick to sign up.

For those who want to experience Varsity Trip 2011 in style, for just £39 you can upgrade to the most spacious and upmarket of any self-catering apartments we are offering.

Brand new to Varsity Trip this year, these luxurious 4* apartments are based right next door to the other accommodation so you’re still in the middle of the action. The 4-person rooms are extremely spacious and nicely decorated with an alpine feel to them. The building has direct access to the piste and wifi is provided.

Our most exciting new upgrade option, Les Balcons, features large and spacious chalet style self-catering apartments for 7-18 people. The block includes an impressive pool and spa area with great views over the resort and mountains.

Boasting a modest but beautiful indoor heated swimming pool, sauna, steam room, hammam relaxation room and small gym – all with fantastic views over the resort – this is the ultimate skiing accommodation. Most apartments are large, sleeping 7-18 people with a spacious living area and kitchen facilities; so it is a great option for sociable dinners and après ski. The block is located just above the centre of the resort so you will be very near all our events, bars, restaurants and the infamous Val Thorens club, Malaysia. There is a restaurant, supermarket and ski hire collection shop on-site. And Les Balcons also provides free wifi in the reception seating area.
