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 Les 3 Vallées this December!

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.

Dominating the valley of Méribel by its height and its pyramidal shape, the Mont-Vallon is an unmissable summit of the 3 Valleys. In a wild and preserved setting, it imposes itself on the bottom of the valley and yet remains easily accessible thanks to the ski lifts. Up there, the panorama offers a plunging view on the biggest glacier of the 3 Valleys and you can do excellent skiing on the two long red runs.

Courchevel is far from being a beginners-only resor - quite the opposite, in fact! Although the runs into the villages are relatively gentle, the mountains rise steeply slightly further up. And it’s Courchevel that is home to the highest number of black runs in the 3 Valleys (12 in total) - to the great delight of thrill-seeking skiers and snowboarders!

Designed with families in mind, the Courchevel ski area offers ease and simplicity. Ski-in village, free lifts, fully enclosed carpeted areas and 50% green and blue runs.
