Is val a type of variable in Scala?

I understand the difference between val and var in Scala. My question is would val be considered a type of variable, immutable type, in Scala still? Some online resources do consider val as different type of variable while others do not.

Types are Int, String, Boolean, List[Double], ...

Value x in val x: Int and variable x in var x: Int are different "sorts" of identifiers with the same type Int.
