Magali arrives at our offices at the end of the day, wrapped up in the numerous jackets which give her the air of an arctic explorer. Maggie (one of her 200 nicknames, she confides), is a courageous and wise mountaineer, who explores the 3 Valleys and the wider Vanoise by ski touring, or even with her skis strapped onto her backpack for steeper ascents. In the summer, the skis are packed away but she carries on with the climbing.

Inaugurated for the Albertville Olympic Games in 1992, these ski jumps are now used by many great athletes every year!

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.

Courchevel, a historic resort in the French Alps, has a lot to tell! Immerse yourself in the history of the resort's lifts and ski through the ages!

Only three hours to make the most of our ski slopes? To tempt you a little further afield than Courchevel to discover new horizons, viewpoints, different environments and pistes to those you usually ski, we have put together four great itineraries, for different ability levels. The stopwatch is set, so let’s go - we’ll show you around our top routes in the 3 Valleys.

You'll never get stuck on a chairlift! Yes, because we've taken care of everything in the event of a breakdown, and as a last resort, our professional teams will always be able to evacuate you. Upright and in a harness! Interview with Franck Bonjean & Louis-André Martinet, both responsible for vertical evacuation at the Courchevel and Mottaret sites.

Because preserving the local fauna is of paramount importance to our lift company, we implement a wide range of actions to protect species, their habitats and breeding grounds. Find out more!

A job unique to the mountains, combining first aid with knowledge of the snow and terrain. Yellow and black, you're bound to see them on the slopes!

We answer those questions that you’ve never dared to ask whilst cruising around the 3 Valleys on your skis or seated on one of our comfortable ski lifts: What are those big grey tubes? Why are there cables there? Why is snow white? With these answers at your fingertips, you’ll be a fountain of knowledge able to inform and educate your little ones!
