Mont Vallon
Dominating the valley of Méribel by its height and its pyramidal shape, the Mont-Vallon is an unmissable summit of the 3 Valleys. In a wild and preserved setting, it imposes itself on the bottom of the valley and yet remains easily accessible thanks to the ski lifts. Up there, the panorama offers a plunging view on the biggest glacier of the 3 Valleys and you can do excellent skiing on the two long red runs.

Courchevel, a ski paradise for all in the infinite 3 Vallées ski area.
A ski area linked to 7 resorts, each with its own special features: from the mountain landscape, with its high-altitude ambience at 3000m, to the spruce forests through which wind the lively pistes. Here, the choice of possibilities is immense, to suit all profiles, levels and desires.

Les 3 Vallees by Antoine
Antoine, a paraplegic groomer, joined S3V 5 years ago, and we often see him walk past our offices on his days off, heading for the slopes with stars in his eyes. In the midst of the Paralympics, we wanted to ask him a few questions.
Meet Antoine, a profound optimist, inspiring and above all inspired to achieve his dreams and share them with all those who also have a craving for the mountains.

Skiing in april
"The snow, it's too soft!"
That's true. But only from mid-day onwards, and there are a lot of advantages we don't think about: everything gets milder (temperatures, snow, prices...), it's a time to ski without pressure, "à la cool", and it's ideal for beginners.
Here are our little secrets for making the most of an April in the mountains, at a slower, calmer pace, with no pressure whatsoever.
