This installation significantly modernizes access to the legendary Asters and Face Nord slopes, a real playground for experienced skiers in search of thrills.
But the advantages don't stop there: this gondola also provides easier access to the Orelle sector, allowing you to explore the vast 3 Vallées ski area even more easily. Smoother travel, less waiting, and above all, more time on your skis. This promises an optimized experience so you can make the most of your days in the mountains, whether you are a year-round resident or a property owner in Val Thorens.

The new Caron 3200 complex redefines the high-altitude experience. Imagine yourself sitting in a panoramic restaurant with a 360-degree view of the Alpine peaks, enjoying a drink in the exceptional wine bar, or savoring the magical moment on the rooftop facing the giants of the Alps. At an altitude of 3,200 meters, every moment becomes a unique sensory experience, combining refined cuisine with breathtaking views. It's the ideal place to impress your guests or celebrate a special moment with your family.
