RENAUD JAY - LES MENUIRES I CROSS-COUNTRY

Ranking

Fourteenth in the freestyle sprint at the 2014 Sochi Olympics

Cross-country skiing in Les 3 Vallées

JÉRÉMY PREVOST - MÉRIBEL | FREERIDE

Freeride skiing in Les 3 Vallées

"I don’t have a favourite piste, but rather a favourite circuit that means I have the slopes all to myself in the best conditions! I start with La Combe de Tougnète to soak up the sun and admire the view of Mont Blanc. Then I hit Bartavelle, Lagopède and Fouine, black slopes and great red sections with moguls! La Combe du Vallon is another essential stop. In the afternoon I head to the Couloir GoPro, with steep sections and moguls next to the Dent de Burgin and its magnificent peak. By following Chamois, Geai, Renard, Blanchot and Lapin, you end up in Méribel Village after skiing every type of piste. That’s my circuit in Méribel. In Courchevel, I love La Combe de la Saulire and the Piste des Creux. They’re beautiful and you can go so fast! In Val Thorens, I like skiing in the Moraine and Portetta sectors. There’s a great atmosphere at the foot of Les Saint Pères and Péclet."

Ranking

Third in the 2011 Freeride World Tour general rankings as the youngest skier on the circuit.


JEAN-FRED CHAPUIS - VAL THORENS | SKICROSS

"La Haute Combe in Val Thorens for the natural variety of terrain and the superb view from the top. Then I take the La Loy piste down to Saint Martin. It’s magnificent."

Ranking

Gold medal at the 2014 Sochi Olympics

2013 World Champion

Runner-up in the 2015 World Championships

World Cup winner in 2015, 2016 and 2017

JONATHAN LEAROYD - COURCHEVEL | SKI JUMPING

Enjoy skiing in Les 3 Vallées

"Murette in Courchevel is the last piste I ski before going home. It’s a little gem hidden in the forest offering a blend of speed and technique."

Ranking

Fourth in the 2016 Youth Olympics

Sixth in the 2018 Junior World Championships

Fourth in the mixed team even in the 2018 Junior World Championships


HUGO RIVAIL - LES MENUIRES | BIATHLON

"My first answer is naturally the cross-country skiing piste starting in Le Châtelard and heading up to the Téton hamlet in the Saint- Martin-de-Belleville resort. After making it to the top, you can enjoy an unbelievable view over the lower part of the Vallée des Belleville. The off-piste descent is often untouched as few people use it! I also like the 4 Vents/Alpage piste in Les Menuires. Starting off at 9,200 feet of altitude with spectacular views over Mont Blanc and the surrounding peaks, this piste is not too steep and means you can put in some great carving on often excellent snow."

Ranking

Third in the relay event at the 2018 Junior World Championships

Fifth in the pursuit event in the 2017 Junior World Championships


KEVIN GURI - LES MENUIRES | FREERIDE

The best of skiing in Les 3 Vallées

"My favourite pistes are those with a bold natural character, such as the Jérusalem piste in Saint Martin. But in general, I use the slopes to get to the off-piste sections!"

Ranking

Sixth in the 2013 Freeride World Tour general rankings

Tenth in the 2015 Freeride World Tour general rankings


LÉA LEMARE - COURCHEVEL | SKI JUMPING

"Without a second thought, L'Eclipse, leading to Courchevel Le Praz from the top of the ski area. I love the feeling of being alone in the world, and when the piste is groomed it’s sensational. Huge fun guaranteed! It’s also the piste of the 2023 Courchevel Méribel World Championships, which says a lot!"

Ranking

Twentieth at the 2014 Sochi Olympics

Twentieth at the 2017 World Championships in Lahti, Finland

Saulire Combe in Courchevel, in Les 3 Vallées

ADRIEN THÉAUX - VAL THORENS | ALPINE SKIING

"My favourite would be the La Cime Carron former red piste and the Poste du Plan de l’Eau. When you arrive first in the morning, the snow is just exceptional. There’s a good slope and undulating terrain – perfect for carving and working up some speed if you want!"

Ranking

Fifth in the Super G at the 2019 World Championships in Äre, Sweden

Fourth in the downhill race at Beaver Creek, USA (2018-19)

Winner of the downhill race in Santa Caterina (2015-16)

TIMOTHÉE THÉAUX - 3 VALLÉES AMBASSADOR

"My favourite pistes include: Petit Dou in Courchevel 1850, a high level piste with lots of terrain variation and very few people.Boismint followed by Plan de l’Eau in Val Thorens, to make a long piste with varied terrain. Dame Blanche on La Masse in Les Menuires, with steep slopes from top to bottom and consistent high-quality snow. Combe du Vallon in Méribel-Mottaret, for its length and view over the glaciers."
