ON THE MENU: LES 3 VALLÉES IN CONCENTRATED FORM!

First day

The first day could be dedicated to a relaxing run, with blue runs to get your feet wet. The escape can begin: put on your skis and let go on an easy route.

You could spend an easy first day mainly on blue runs to get your ski legs back. Your getaway starts here: put on your skis and enjoy letting it all go as you follow an easy route to the top of les 3 Marches in Les Menuires and then ski down the famous Grand Lac ski run. Thanks to its westerly orientation, the snow on this run is always exceptional. Alternatively, take the Roc de Fer run in Méribel which will make you feel like a ski champion as it hosted the Alpine Ski World Cup Finals in 2015 and this winter season 2023 it will host the World Ski Championships.

A late lunch break on a sunny terrace - at the 1928 Restaurant in Courchevel for example - will round off a wonderful day of skiing. For lovers of fine dining, a meal at Le Cèpe, a gourmet restaurant recommended by the Michelin guide, will take you on a gastronomic journey. Your meal will be all the more charming as it can be savoured with a view of Méribel’s peaks.

Second day

Today you are on a mission to discover some of the gems of the ski area. Set off with an ESF instructor and be guided through a winter wonderland to explore its mountains and marvels and find the 3 Vallées’ secret spots. Set off to conquer high peaks that offer extraordinary panoramas of the ski area: Pointe de la Masse, Tougnète, Creux Noirs, Signal or La Saulire...

Your instructor will take you to the best photo spots for the perfect group selfie – ideal for your desktop wallpaper at home to remind you of the snow until your next holiday. And as you enjoyed lunch on a sun terrace the previous day, why not treat yourself to another delicious outdoor lunch today? These are the pleasures of a holiday in spring when Nature is at her most benevolent!

Third day

By now, you are ready to tackle a big ski day. Did you love the secret spots you found yesterday? Keep pushing yourself on red and black runs so you can return to them one day.

Spice up your skiing and enjoy challenging yourself in the fun areas: the ungroomed, avalanche-controlled Liberty Ride in Les Menuires or the legendary Grand Couloir in Courchevel will delight budding freeriders. Thrills are also guaranteed in Orelle’s and Méribel’s boardercrosses on the jumps, cambered turns and rollers.

Restaurant La Folie Douce, a high-altitude chalet in Val Thorens, will add some crazy fun to your holiday. Here you can lunch and watch a musical show followed by a DJ set that will have you dancing on the table! Day three will blow you away (and exhaust your legs too!)

Fourth day

On the fourth day, the pace slows down. Spend the day on blue runs and comfortable chairlifts, enjoying the pleasure of gentle skiing without ever having to take your skis off. Take the time to admire the views and enjoy the unique atmosphere created by the majestic Alpine mountains.

A picnic with a view is a must during your stay in Les 3 Vallées. The choice of picnic spots is vast: try the top of the Roc 1 gondola with its spectacular panorama over the Vallon du Lou, Les Chapelets in Courchevel-Moriond (1650) with its astounding view of the Vanoise glaciers, or Le Bouchet for its uninterrupted view over Mont Blanc...
