​The 3 Valleys are unparalleled and a main global destination when it comes to skiing. Not only the largest ski resort in the world, covering around 600 km of fully linked skiing, along with 184 ski lifts and counting. All resulting in an unmatched destination for skiers and the ski season. ​

And when most skiers can only schedule a couple of weeks skiing during the season, the 3 valleys are ample not to exhaust yourself on covering the same ground, or snow in this case, but exhaust yourself skiing different areas and landscapes. ​

One of the many benefits of the 3 valleys is the variety of skiing, from the tree lined runs around Courchevel that reach over to the next valley into Meribel where the tree lined surrounding continue. Heading up the mountains and over to St-Martin the runs become wider and visibly moor moon scape. 


Making tracks from St-Martin in the Belleville valley you continue towards Les Menuires a lively area with an active social scene. This wide valley has long runs drenched in sun all day, and reaching the pinacle of Masse at 2,804mtrs. Masse has recently become one of the most popular destinations on the tour skiers visit, with a new cable system and potentially the opening to the next valley. Here you whiteness the most breath taking views over the tops of the far reaching Alps. ​

​Traveling further up the Belleville valley you enter Val Thornes at 2,300mtrs. This district has seen a huge growth on popularity’s over recent years, and has been voted the ‘Worlds Best Ski Resort’ at the ‘World Ski Awards’ 9 times in the past 11 years. Impressive stuff and there is a reason for these awards.  


Finally you head further up to Orelle and the 4th Valley at a height of  3230mtrs. Orelle has rapidly developing with new lift infrastructure opening up more breathtaking ski runs, and a new highly anticipated restaurant and observation area due to be completed for January 2026.
