Winter Activities
Les Trois Vallees is the most extensive linked ski area in the World and some of the best snow conditions in Europe are consistently found here. La Saulire on the Courchevel valley offers some of the most challenging runs. With gradients of 38 degrees these are among the most taxing black runs in the world. Also in Courchevel and in Meribel there is a wide range of good blue and red slopes for the intermediate skier. For the less adventurous there are many green runs leading back to the village. There are also more than a dozen cross-country routes in the area.
Snowboarding has become increasingly popular and Courchevel has created snow parks, snow rides and half pipes to meet the demand, while a range of other winter activities like ice-climbing (indoors and outdoors), snowshoeing, snowmobiling, tobogganing and ice-skating are attractive options.
