Why ski in Three Valleys Ski Area

As one of the largest ski areas in the world, the Three Valleys provides high altitude, world-class skiing with 85% of the ski area above 1,800 metres and a guarantee of great snow all season long. The area links four fabulous French resorts - Europe's highest Val Thorens, the ultimate chalet resort Méribel, iconic Courchevel and modern Les Menuires. The skiing more than lives up to the resorts' star billing and for you enthusiastic, mileage hungry skiers, a whopping 600 kilometers of pisted perfection awaits you.

Groups of mixed ability love the Three Valleys as you can appreciate the area at your own pace and individual level - not to mention the breath taking panoramic views you'll see along the way. For quality time with your family, we'd recommend visiting the Friendly Natural Park in Les Menuires to learn more about the mountains and it's wildlife whilst participating in a fun range of ski games. On the other hand, if you're a thrill seeker, push your limits with the vertiginious couloir slope at Meribel's Vertical Xperience which has a 37° gradient. There are also many opportunities to have fun off of the slopes - ice skate in Courchevel, soar across Val Thrones on a zipline or explore the whole of the Three Valleys by toboggan.

Things to do in the Three Valleys Ski Area

There are four dedicated toboggan runs in Méribel. Children who want to learn to sledge can do so on the Kenottes run, which is reserved just for families.  Whilst the Mission Black Forest is best for those with a bit more confidence, whiz down the 3.4 km sledge run, descending 470m with 28 corners.

The Olympic Park is a sport complex which includes a swimming pool, an ice rink, an indoor climbing wall, as well as a spa and a fitness area. Perfect for when it is just a bit to snowy to go on the mountain. Ice hockey matches in the Olympic Park take place every Tuesday night.

If you would prefer to experience the mountain by foot, there are plenty of paths to follow. The sentier de la Marine is a relatively easy walk of around 5km, starting at Chalet du Cosmojet you will be met with fantastic views across the snowy landscape.

Have you ever wanted to stay on the mountain after last lifts? Every Friday you can enjoy the Tête Ronde and Christine runs in Péclet sector until 6.30pm. It is free of charge for guests with a valid Val Thorens/ Orelle ski pass.

Take to new heights and have a go at the La Bee zip line at the top of the Moutiere chairlift. This adrenaline filled zip line is suitable for children over the age of 14. Height restrictions apply. Pay locally.

The Tyrolienne du Bouchet is the highest zipline in Europe giving you the chance to whizz through the incredible mountain scenery. Located at the top of the Bouchet chairlift. Pay locally.

Swap your skis for a set of skates and enjoy the indoor ice skating rink which is open daily throughout the season. You can also watch ice hockey matches throughout the winter. Payable locally.

Courchevel opens the Verdons Gondola after the rest of the slopes have closed for an evening of skiing in the moonlight. The run is lit up and music adds to the unique atmosphere. It is a fun and different experience and a great time to ski without any queues, plus it is included with your lift pass.

Take to the skies and experience the mountains from above, an experienced guide will take you to new heights where you glide over the stunning mountain landscape. Payable locally.

Tobogganing

Swap your ski or board for a toboggan at the Roc’n’Bob slope, where there are 4km of tobogganing on a snowy trail with a 450m vertical drop and 22 bends. Alternatively, go down the 1000m long ‘sledge on rails’ on Speed Mountain which has a series of twists, drops and turns.

Discover the mountain on snowshoes to experience the wildlife, nature and breath-taking mountain views in the Belleville Valley.
