Les 3 Vallées

Welcome to the famous "3 Vallées" - these are the Belleville, Courchevel and the Méribel Valleys! Together they form the world's largest interconnected ski area with a snow-sure maximum altitude of 3,230 m. The high-alpine surroundings, exceptionally long and varied pistes, as well as a large variety of freerider possibilities and snow parks ensure this region to be an incomparable skiing experience! The resorts in the 3 valleys all have different characters - from charming to sophisticated. However for a while now the typical chalet and apartment houses tend to dominate the resorts charming appearance. The lift connection between the 3 valleys is ideal: you have direct access to the entire ski region, including Europe's highest located ski station at 2,300 m.
