Keep in mind you could spend a month in the Three Valleys and not experience it all!

The warmly welcoming village of Brides-les-Bains, in the Meribel valley, is situated at the base of the French Alps’ famous Three Valleys (Courchevel, Meribel and Val Thorens), the world's biggest snow sports area. High speed gondolas bring you directly to Méribel's central hub, the heart of Les Trois Vallées.

The Three Valleys area is very big, ski/ride from village to village! The “Trois Vallées” area is recognized as the biggest and best-linked ski/snowboard area in the world. With 600 km's of pistes (373 miles of runs), 200 of the most modern lifts available (Killington has 32 lifts), and tens of thousands of acres of off-piste terrain, it's sure to wear out even the heartiest, as it offers unlimited skiing an boarding for all levels in snow-sure terrain. There's more skiing and riding in this area than all the resorts of Colorado, Utah, and California combined!

The expanse is breathtaking, the scenery is spectacular and the overall skiing and snowboarding is unmatched.

Check out the stats: 200 lifts, 260,000 skiers transported hourly, 1,500 snow cannons, 2,500 Hectares of groomed runs, 320 Ski patrollers, 70 groomers and 1,500 Ski instructors. 50% easy runs (green and blue) and 50% advanced runs (red and black), with virtually an unlimited amount of off piste, so something for everyone.
