Igloo de Thorens

Welcome to Igloo de Thorens - an igloo bar/café in Val Thorens

Igloo de Thorens Bar offers one of Val Thorens’ most memorable mountain experiences, combining alpine scenery with a truly quirky setting. Built entirely from snow and ice over the course of ten days, the igloo is crafted by hand, day and night, to create a magical winter hideaway high on the slopes.

Perfectly located beside the Moraine gondola on the piste, it’s easy to find and ideal for a relaxed stop during the ski day. The bar is open from first lifts until the slopes close, giving you plenty of time to rest tired legs with a beer, a glass of wine, or a warming hot drink. There’s also a simple food menu, including freshly toasted paninis, fries, and snacks that hit the spot after a long morning on the mountain. Children are welcome too, with soft drinks and sodas available.

At the heart of the igloo sits a striking ice bar, carved from three hundred kilos of pure ice and ready to serve whatever takes your fancy. Once a week, the experience goes even further with a night-time fondue dinner inside the igloo, enjoyed under the stars. This reservation-only evening includes transport up and back, making it a truly unforgettable alpine moment. To book, you’ll need to email, call, or pop by the igloo during the day to secure your spot.
