Méribel blog, useful info for your Méribel holiday

On vacation, we're all looking for the perfect vantage point to snap the perfect photo. The one that, in the moment, will make your friends back at the office envious of spending this moment with you. The one that will hang on the wall above your dining table as a souvenir of that fabulous ski vacation in Courchevel. Here's a selection of the most beautiful places on the slopes of Courchevel and in Les 3 Vallées.

Little skiers, we’re not forgetting you ! Just because you’re skiing in the largest ski area in the world, the 3 Valleys, doesn’t mean that it’s only for experts… Quite the opposite! With free lifts, separate beginner zones, a lift pass especially for beginners, activity pistes to making learning fun… It’s all there to help you learn at your own pace, stress-free, so that you can have a really great holiday just like the grown-ups!

January in Courchevel is without doubt the very best time for those who love winter sports. The snow is cold and light under your skis: a sheer delight to ski. It is also a real treat for the eyes with the snow-covered pines lending the landscape a magical atmosphere against a background of clear skies and uninterrupted views of the white alpine peaks.

In our fast-paced lives, with a full working week, busy evenings weekends and even busy holidays, we all need a little break – at least once during the year! Take the time to breathe deeply and enjoy the moment, without having planned every last minute of your day. Perhaps skiing could be part of your therapy?

Because skiing is first and foremost a pleasure, especially for children, we're developing themed slopes in the Courchevel ski area, so that even when they're just learning to ski, they can still have the time of their lives. Head for the playful slopes and magical worlds that will delight your little ones!

February is definitely the best time to go skiing, even if it can sometimes feel like you're in the middle of a crowd of skiers. If you love the mountains in their natural setting, we've got all the tips you need to get away from it all, and find yourself alone, with family or friends, between the fir trees or on the summits, for some exceptional skiing!

Too tough? Too cold? Not fun enough? In Les 3 Vallees, we strive to make sure your children will love their mountain holiday and won’t leave with these common preconceptions about skiing! Fun, interactive slopes, activity ideas, cosy spots for break, ways to have fun with or without your skis… We have something for everyone, from teeny tot to wild child (and we haven’t forgotten the grown-ups!)

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.
