Whether you prefer to stand totally motionless and let your eyes absorb the infinite alpine vista, or you love to take out your camera or phone to record and share the spine-tingling panoramas on Instagram, we’ll help you find the very best in awe-inspiring scenery around the 3 Vallées.

Intermediate skiers, welcome to your paradise: Méibel and the 3 Valleys ski area is rich, varied and suitable for all levels.

We answer those questions that you’ve never dared to ask whilst cruising around the 3 Valleys on your skis or seated on one of our comfortable ski lifts: What are those big grey tubes? Why are there cables there? Why is snow white? With these answers at your fingertips, you’ll be a fountain of knowledge able to inform and educate your little ones!

Skiing all day… you can’t beat it. But we also know that a little break between pistes, on a sun-soaked terrace, is good for the soul. After a morning on the slopes, it’s soooo good to sit back and relax in a sunny spot with a breath-taking panorama and even more special when you are anticipating a delicious lunch!

You'll never get stuck on a chairlift! Yes, because we've taken care of everything in the event of a breakdown, and as a last resort, our professional teams will always be able to evacuate you. Upright and in a harness! Interview with Franck Bonjean & Louis-André Martinet, both responsible for vertical evacuation at the Courchevel and Mottaret sites.

They each make a unique contribution to the beating heart of our ski area, are passionate about their unusual professions and spend their working days in challenging and often male-dominated environments. Piste security, slope maintenance, freeride skier… you won’t always encounter them when you’re out and about on your skis, so here we proudly present some of the women behind the scenes in our ski area!
