I’m often told by people who have skied all over the world that, once they come to Les 3 Vallées, they never want to ski anywhere else again. It really is the most incredible ski area, offering such a range of skiing that, even after more than 20 years living here, I’m still finding little hidden runs that I’ve never skied.

With its traditional chalet-style buildings, our base Méribel, is one of the prettiest ski resorts in the Alps. It has the greatest variety of skiing in Les 3 Vallées – from beautiful tree-lined runs which are perfect for beginners, to dramatic high-altitude descents off rugged mountain peaks. Situated at the heart of Les 3 Vallées, Méribel gives you unrivalled access to the neighbouring villages, enabling you to make the most of your 3 Valley lift pass.

Just a lift ride away are the iconic Courchevel valley, with its challenging couloirs and miles of reds and blues to explore, and the Val Thorens/Les Menuires valley, a mecca for high elevation skiing.

And of course, should you wish to splash out on fine dining, there is plenty on offer across the region, with Courchevel alone boasting no fewer than nine Michelin starred restaurants.
