3 VALLÉES ITINERARY WITH FRIENDS

The itinerary starts out from Val Thorens and boasts some (really) beautiful runs and marked routes. What they all have in common is their impressive vertical drops, taking in Les 3 Vallées’ varied landscapes, from high-altitude rocky backdrops to forest runs. This road book is reserved for expert skiers, who’ll enjoy a well-earned rest on the ski lifts as they soak up the scenery.

Starting out from Val Thorens, Cime Caron takes us up to admire the panorama at an altitude of 3,200 metres. The first run of the day is a black one, the Combe de Caron, with a nice vertical drop to warm you up.

Catch your breath in La Masse gondola lift before skiing the north face again, in good snow. On your way down, take the little drag lift up onto the steeper and quieter Dame Blanche black run.

At the top of Mont de la Challe, you’ll find a great mogul field on the ungroomed Bartavelle run. Next up is Les Coqs, a lovely red that always has a surprise or two in store, followed by the quiet (because it’s hard to see) Combe Laitelet.

Then it’s time to take a well-earned break on a terrace in Méribel centre, before heading up to Col de la Loze to take on the Eclipse: created for the 2023 Alpine ski championships, it’s a challenging run with an impressive vertical drop that finishes with a forest section in Courchevel le Praz.

In Courchevel 1850, the red Petit Dou is Les 3 Vallées’ rollercoaster, due to its undulating terrain. On your way back to Val Thorens, you’ll ski through Méribel Mottaret.

If you feel up to it, you can squeeze in one last descent from la Saulire – take your pick from either the Freeride Lab or the Vertical Xpérience couloirs – Tournier couloir is the most technically demanding marked itinerary in the ski area with a steep 37° slope.
