3 Valleys Skiing

With skiing for all ability levels and 600km of linked piste spread over four major resorts - Courchevel, Meribel, Val Thorens & Les Menuires - the Three Valleys is the ultimate skiing destination!

Beginner Skiing 3 Valleys *****

Beginners skiers are extraordinarily looked after throughout the 3 Valleys. There is a huge selection of ski schools to choose from in all four of the major resorts, including many independent and British run ski schools. There are also plenty of beginner slopes throughout the area which are all easy access and in some cases you will not have to purchase a lift pasa as a beginners until at least half way through your holiday because there is a good selection of beginner lifts that can be used for free.

Intermediate Skiing 3 Valleys *****

Intermediate skiers will have a seemingly endless amount of skiing to explore. If you are trying to keep costs down then you may well be able to get away with a local lift pass for whichever valley it is that you are staying in, as each valley has about 200km of piste on offer. However, if cost is not an issue then go for the full 3 Valleys lift pass. You will be able to ski all day every day and you will hardly ever have to ski the same run twice!

Advanced Skiing in 3 Valleys *****

Advanced skiers could not ask for a better ski area then the 3 Valleys. With 600km of interlinked piste you will be able to ski all day without every having to take off your skis (apart from lunch and getting on and off the odd gondola). There is a great choice of snowparks on offer for any freetsyle skiers and there is also a huge amount of off piste skiing to test yourself on, which is all on top of the 600km of marked pistes.

Snowboarding 3 Valleys *****

The 3 Valleys is not only great for skiers but it is also brilliant for those looking for a now boarding holiday as well. Snowboarding holidays in the 3 Valleys offer snowboarders a huge selection of snowparks and well as loads of off piste to explore. Meribel alone offers two of France's best snowparks. The Moon Park is very well looked after with well shaped kickers and the DC park has a well groomed half pipe. Val Thorens also has a very good snowpark which is extremely popular with snowboarders.

Off Piste Skiing 3 Valleys *****

Off piste skiers out there will love off piste ski routes that are on offer in the 3 Valleys. The Grand Couloir in Courchevel has a seriously challenging mogul section at the top and then opens out into a huge powder field. Be careful to stick to either the right side of the left side of the field as there is a cliff drop in the middle. Unless of course you fancy dropping it, in which case you will want to stick to the middle. However, it is a big drop so unless you are a very experience off piste skier we would advise caution. There is also a great selection of tree skiing in the 3 Valleys and Meribel is full of enough tree runs to keep keep anyone happy.
