Plan the ski week

Les 3 Vallées

One of France and the world's strongest all-round mega ski areas, spanning Courchevel, Méribel, Val Thorens and more.

Editorial review

Choose it if

Groups who want maximum choice from beginner terrain to advanced skiing

Think twice if

Skip it if you want a small village rhythm. The area is huge, and poor planning can turn the day into lift admin.

Why choose it

The point is scale without bus transfers. Courchevel, Méribel, Les Menuires, Val Thorens and Orelle are tied together by lifts, so strong groups can roam all day.

Terrain and daily flow

600 km linked skiing. Current official press figures list 334 pistes: 53 green, 136 blue, 108 red and 37 black.

Lift pass and access

A 3 Vallées pass is what makes cross-valley days possible. Confirm whether the stay includes a full-domain pass or whether you need to add it separately.

Where you stay changes the week

Ski-in / ski-out is an address-level fact, not a resort-wide promise. Pick the village for your group first, then verify the walk or lift access at the property.

Useful on the ground

Good ski schools, beginner zones, mountain restaurants, lift-linked villages and enough rental shops to keep logistics simple.
