Over breakfast, you can make detailed plans for your day’s skiing to suit the wishes of each member of your group. This offers you the advantage of choosing the best route to take according to which ski runs are open and, for example, seeking out the most beautiful views in Les 3 Vallées with the aid of the interactive 2D map. For powder-hounds seeking fresh, untracked snow, if avalanche blasting is programmed early in the morning, this map allows them to find the best spots the moment they open. Other skiers will delight in knowing they can be first on their favourite, freshly groomed runs.
It is easy to lose track of time in Les 3 Vallées when you are carried away by the exhilaration of skiing and the desire to explore every corner of the world’s largest ski area. At the end of the day, it is very useful to have quick and simple access to information on the ski runs and lift closing time, so you can plan your return home with peace of mind, especially when this must be done by a particular route.
You can also consult the weather forecast and the webcams of the 3 Valleys in real time. This will allow you to be well organised and serene.
