live and share the skiing experience with the family in les 3 vallées

The big blue. Les 3 Vallées is the world’s largest ski area at all levels, and for all levels.

Resorts designed with families in mind

Les 3 Vallées’s resorts have thought of everything to ensure your family ski holiday is easy and totally hassle-free. Most of the villages are ski-in/ski-out, which means that as soon as you step outside, you’re already on the slopes, ready to put your skis on and set off on a family adventure over Les 3 Vallées’ blue runs.

Easy skiing that’s accessible to all

With more than 50% of the runs listed as green (suitable for beginners) and blue (easy), Les 3 Vallées is the perfect setting for wonderful family get togethers. Whatever level of skier you are, you can get the most out of the world’s largest ski area with total peace of mind, and with those you love most in the world.

Safe ski lifts

Whether it’s snow quality (guaranteed throughout the winter season, from December to April, due to the destination’s exceptional geography), meticulous piste grooming (with extra special attention paid to the blue runs and beginner’s areas), or even child-friendly ski lifts fitted with protection systems, thanks to its world-class conditions, you can learn to ski in total safety in Les 3 Vallées.

Amazing scenery, at your ski tips

Les 3 Vallées resorts enjoy stunning views and incredible landscapes.
