Trois Vallées
The ski-holiday destination of Le Trois Vallées is the largest
ski area in the world and is made up from the linked valleys of
Courcheval, Meribel, Les Menuires and Val Thorens. Courcheval
actually consists of three resorts named after their heights;
Courcheval 1850 and 1650 are the most exclusive and expensive in
the Trois Vallées.
Meribel is the middle valley and is the most popular option with
families on holiday; the slopes here are easier to navigate. It was
founded by the British, and English is spoken everywhere. Val
Thorens has the highest skiing slopes but it is an ugly resort with
large grey apartment blocks providing the background; however it is
the favoured holiday destination of many German tourists.
The combined ski area comprising the Three Valleys is excellent
for beginners and experts alike. There is also a good variety of
off-piste skiing when the conditions are right.
