Les 3 Vallées - Val Thorens/Les Menuires/Méribel/Courchevel

The Les 3 Vallées ski resort links the valleys of Courchevel, Méribel and Vallée des Belleville with Saint-Martin-de-Belleville, Les Menuires and Val Thorens, forming one of the largest linked ski areas in the world. The different valleys also offer varied landscapes, from high-altitude Alpine terrain with cliffs and the Alma meadows to slopes through forests. There is also off-piste terrain between the slopes.

Worth knowing

The choice of ski slopes is practically unlimited. The ski resort also has slopes of every difficulty level. Most slopes are very long. Because the valleys have different characteristics, you can enjoy varied scenery - La Vallée des Belleville, Saint-Martin-de-Belleville, Les Menuires and Val Thorens have few trees but are very open and sunny, while the Méribel valley is considered the best, although it has many trees. The Courchevel valley also has plenty of trees, but its upper section offers more open terrain.
