The 3 Valleys
The worlds largest ski area
France's 3 Valleys ski area is the largest in the world, combining the world-class resorts of Méribel, Courchevel, Val Thorens, Les Menuires, La Tania, Saint Martin de Belleville, Brides les Bains and Orelle.
The 3 Valleys boasts some of the best skiing in the world and is a playground for all abilities and interests. The restaurant and après choices are fantastic too.
With 180 lifts, 600 km of skiing on 330 marked pistes, The 3 Valleys in the northern French Alps is the world’s largest connected ski area.
It’s high altitude, snow-sure terrain with 85% of the runs being above 1800m. Unsurprisingly then, Les 3 Vallées is home to Europe’s highest ski resort, Val Thorens, with its highest lift bringing skiers and boarders up to 3,200m.
The ski area is a perfect location for beginners and advanced skiers alike, with a wide range of comfortable and challenging slopes. And for any thrill-seeking skiers, the Grand Couloir run in Courchevel is known to be one of the scariest in Europe.
Perfect for beginners
Beginner skiers have 43 green runs and 129 blue runs, plus the new ‘Easy Rider’ signposting makes life even easier if you’re new to the sport. Look out for the pink sign which indicates that the piste is nice and wide with a gradual incline, just what you need as a first-timer finding your feet.
The best après...
Party lovers head to Méribel and Val Thorens where there are a large number of bars to choose from, including the well-known piste-side après venues of the Rond Point in Méribel and the Folie Douce in Val Thorens. For something a little quieter, head to the typical French villages of St Martin de Belleville or Les Allues, where you'll find pretty bars and restaurants.
