January in Courchevel is without doubt the very best time for those who love winter sports. The snow is cold and light under your skis: a sheer delight to ski. It is also a real treat for the eyes with the snow-covered pines lending the landscape a magical atmosphere against a background of clear skies and uninterrupted views of the white alpine peaks.

The 2nd highest summit of the 3 Vallées, La Cime Caron is a classic of the ski area. 1000 alpine summits can be admired from this summit, from Italy to Switzerland and up to the Southern Alps, all in a very mineral atmosphere. Another specificity: its ski lift, perched in the air. It is also one of the connection points with the Orelle resort, one of the 7 resorts that make up the 3 Vallées ski area.

Blue slopes means relaxed, fearless skiing on some of the best snow, as all the blue runs are groomed every night. In the 3 Vallées, with 142 blue runs, you've got the choice! From the glaciers of Val Thorens to the spruce forests of Méribel, from the view of the Ecrins from Mottaret to the village of Saint Martin, you don't need to be an expert skier to admire all this varied beauty.

Too tough? Too cold? Not fun enough? In Les 3 Vallees, we strive to make sure your children will love their mountain holiday and won’t leave with these common preconceptions about skiing! Fun, interactive slopes, activity ideas, cosy spots for break, ways to have fun with or without your skis… We have something for everyone, from teeny tot to wild child (and we haven’t forgotten the grown-ups!)

Finally… The white stuff has arrived. Finally... All the fun of the mountains. Finally… Those long-awaited moments with family and friends and the much-deserved end-of-year break. And you can choose between a huge choice of activities – skiing or snowboarding come first. Here are 5 things you’re going to love in Courchevel and the 3 Valleys this December!

"The snow is too soft! That's true, but only from mid-day onwards, and there are a lot of advantages that we don't think about: everything becomes softer: temperatures, snow, prices... That it's the best time to ski without pressure, "à la cool". With a bit of skiing in the morning, a terrace at lunchtime in the Courchevel heights and lazy afternoons with your girlfriends. It's the perfect time to start skiing!

Courchevel, a ski paradise for all in the infinite 3 Vallées ski area. A ski area linked to 7 resorts, each with its own special features: from the mountain landscape, with its high-altitude ambience at 3000m, to the spruce forests through which wind the lively pistes. Here, the choice of possibilities is immense, to suit all profiles, levels and desires.
