The ski area of The 3 Valleys

An exceptional ski area.

With more than 500 km of marked and regularly maintained slopes, 163 ski lifts which allow a cumulative flow of 300,000 people per hour (5 times more than Vail, the largest ski resort in the United States!), the 3 Valleys are the largest truly interconnected ski area in the world.

Even more than these impressive figures, what makes the 3 Valleys an incomparable ski area, they are:

  • An extremely modern ski lift park. Even during school holidays, there is rarely more than 10 minutes of waiting at the departure of the most frequented lifts. The flip side of the coin are sometimes crowded tracks.
  • Quick, numerous and easy connections between the different sectors of the ski area.
    Except, of course, to take a gondola or a cable car, it is never necessary to take off your skis or push excessively on your poles to reach any point in the ski area.
  • Signage, slope maintenance, artificial snow cover (2,383 snow cannons covering more than 50% of the ski area) particularly well taken care of.
  • But since nothing can replace the quality of natural snow, 85% of the ski area is above 2000 meters above sea level.

Between St Martin-de-Belleville and Val Thorens, the menuires are in the heart of the Belleville Valley, the largest of the 3 valleys.

La Tania
1400m

The forest is omnipresent in La Tania and it remains its greatest wealth:
It preserves the quality of the snow, protects from the wind, guarantees good visibility whatever the weather and brings incomparable charm to the small resort.

A skier at the Col du Fruit

Meribel
1450m

The Col du Fruit, which separates the valleys of Meribel (on the right) and Courchevel (on the left). On both sides, very nice off-piste but beware:
The avalanche risks are often very high there.

Skieur dans la combe sans nom

Val Thorens
2300m

First tracks in the Combe sans Nom in Val Thorens. Spring snow at Christmas. Something to smile about! The route is very beautiful, little known as its name suggests, but the risk of getting lost towards rocky outcrops is very important if you do not know the area perfectly.
