Why? Simply because at altitude, our bodies produce more red blood cells. These red blood cells help to keep us healthy – that’s why athletes spend time training at high altitudes.
Overindulge in mountain air… Yes, it’s good for you!
White. Lots and lots of white. Endless white peaks as far as you can see, immense white spaces, infinite and radiant… It doesn’t matter direction you look, it’s beautiful everywhere! Whether the weather is glorious or it’s snowing, the landscape is simply magical… For instance, imagine skiing in fresh powder between the meringue-encrusted trees of a forest swathed in mist…
Do you adore wide, open spaces? No problem: head up to the top of the ski area and you’ll feel like you’re the only person in the entire world! Put these places on your list: Cime Carron in Val Thorens, Mont Vallon in Méribel or Signal in Courchevel Moriond.
Do you prefer a Scandinavian atmosphere, pine trees drooping under the weight of the snow? Ski the enchanting forest of La Tania or the Altiport, you’re going to love it.
Die-hard sportsperson or occasional athlete, there’s something for all tastes in Courchevel and Les 3 Vallées. A few runs in the morning, carefully picked out the evening before, then at lunchtime install yourself comfortably on a restaurant terrace… With a backdrop of iconic alpine peaks, you’ll feel like you’re starring in a film!
Looking for a little inspiration?

It’s possible, even on skis and even in the largest ski area in the world. You just have to want it!
Head to the far east of the ski area for a moment’s rest in a hideaway at the heart of nature: the Nid des Avals. To get there, go to Courchevel Moriond and take the Pyramids button lift. This secluded area is full of quiet trails, perfect for enjoying the silence and beauty of nature.
