About The 3 Valleys:
Set in the heart of the French Alps, Les 3 Vallées is the largest interconnected ski area in the world - a spectacular mountain playground where 373 miles of perfectly groomed pistes connect eight world-class resorts, including Courchevel, Méribel, Val Thorens, Les Menuires and La Tania. With altitudes ranging from 1,300 to over 3,200 metres, snow reliability is exceptional throughout the season, and the variety of terrain ensures something for every skier.
Beginners can start on wide, gentle slopes in Courchevel or Méribel, while confident skiers carve along sweeping reds and long valley descents linking each resort. For thrill-seekers, black runs and legendary off-piste routes around La Masse or Val Thorens deliver pure adrenaline. High-speed lifts and modern gondolas make exploring the entire area effortless, meaning you can ski three valleys in a single day without ever removing your skis.
Beyond the pistes, Les 3 Vallées is as much about lifestyle as it is about skiing. Snowshoe through pine forests, paraglide over sunlit peaks, or unwind in a luxury spa overlooking the mountains. Gourmets can dine at Michelin-starred restaurants, enjoy authentic Savoyard dishes in cosy chalets, or sip vin chaud on panoramic terraces as the sun sets over snow-capped summits.
