Slope offering, variety of runs at the ski resort Les 3 Vallées – Val Thorens/Les Menuires/Méribel/Courchevel
The range of slopes in the 3 Vallées is almost endless – here, skiers and snowboarders will find runs for every level, from easy to the most challenging descents. Particularly outstanding are the long runs, which offer a variety of challenges. Thanks to the different valley structures, winter sports enthusiasts can also look forward to diverse landscapes: La Vallée des Belleville, with the resorts of Saint Martin, Les Menuires, and Val Thorens, is sparsely wooded, expansive, and offers plenty of sunshine. The Méribel valley is somewhat narrower and steeper, but features a beautiful forest backdrop. In the Courchevel valley, there are also some wooded areas, while the upper section becomes flatter and more open.
