Trois Vallees is in a league of its own.
There is nowhere like it for a serious piste basher who wants to cover as much mileage as possible while rarely skiing the same run repeatedly. And it has a lot to offer every standard of skier, from beginner to expert. Les Menuires is the cheapest but with some of the best steep piste skiing in the Trois Vallees on its north-facing La Masse mountain. Its near neighbour, St-Martin-de-Belleville, is a small, attractive, traditional village. The lifts into the skiing are slow, and the run home is south-facing.Val-Thorens, set at 2300m, is Europe's highest ski resort and has the Trois Vallees' highest skiing. The snow here is pretty much guaranteed to be good, and there are two glaciers to choose from. But the setting is bleak, and skiing can be limited in bad weather; and the purpose-built resort isn't to everyone's taste. Meribel's purpose-built satellite, Mottaret, is the best-placed of all the resorts for getting to any part of the system in the shortest possible time. Meribel itself is 200m lower, and has long been a favourite for skiers, especially those going on chalet holidays. It is probably the most attractive of the main Trois Vallees resorts, built in chalet style beside a long winding road up the hillside. Courchevel 1850 is the most expensive and fashionable of all the Trois Vallees resorts. The other satellites (1300, 1550 and 1650) are somewhat less pricey but don't have the same choice of nightlife and restaurants. The skiing around Courchevel is thought by many to be the best in the Trois Vallees, with runs to suit all standards and some of the most immaculately groomed slopes you'll find anywhere. The snow tends to be better than in neighbouring Meribel because many of the slopes are north-facing. La Tania is a small place built for the 1992 Olympics and it still has very few facilities and very little evening animation.
