Environmental protection of the ski resort Les 3 Vallées – Val Thorens/​Les Menuires/​Méribel/​Courchevel

In the Les 3 Vallées ski area, there is a clear awareness that success depends on an intact natural environment. The high altitude allows for a measured use of artificial snow production. With the acquisition of the first resource-efficient diesel-electric grooming machines, the next step is already underway. Strict monitoring ensures respect for the boundary of the adjacent Plan de Tueda nature park.

The Moûtiers - Salins-les-Thermes - Brides-les-Bains station is approximately the same distance from the gondola in Brides-les-Bains. From the station in Moûtiers, you can continue by public transport into the valleys (Courchevel, Méribel, and Les Menuires/Val Thorens).
  • Ski buses
  • Scheduled buses
  • There are ski buses in the individual valleys. A ski bus connection between the valleys is not available. There are (paid) shuttle buses from the airports of Geneva, Chambéry, Lyon, and Grenoble.
