Val Thorens was created in December 1971 when an exceptional natural environment was discovered by a group of visionary pioneers. It is located in Savoie, Massif de la Vanoise, Vallée des Belleville, Sommet des 3 Vallées. Technical and commercial innovations, bold approaches and human challenges, the history of the resort is punctuated with high points which all played their part in turning it into the exceptional destination it is today.
In 1981/1982, SETAM took on the project of building the largest cable car in the world, the Cime Caron Cable Car which ascended to an altitude of 3,200 metres. This development marked the beginning of a new era for Val Thorens and positioned the resort amongst the leading major winter sports resorts.
In 1990 (in collaboration with Denis Creissels), SETAM engineers invented the Funitel Lift Concept (a bi-cable unit boasting excellent wind resistance) and installed the first of its kind at the foot of the Péclet glacier. SETAM then handed over the patent to ski lift manufacturers who exported the concept throughout the world.

In 1995, a double embarkation chair lift was created which simultaneously provided a higher transportation rate, and improved passenger comfort. At the same time, the link between the Maurienne/the 3 Vallées was built, via Orelle, with the construction of the longest gondola lift in the world in one section. In 2004, at the Oxalys restaurant, Jean Sulpice received his first Michelin star and became the youngest chef in France to have the honour....
