Right in the middle of the Three Valleys, it is difficult to be bored in a fortnight at Meribel. Fans of Courchevel and Val-Thorens sniff at Méribel's local slopes, but since Mont Vallon and the top of the valley were opened up some years ago, Méribel can stand comparison on most counts!

Val d'Isère offers premier skiing & snowboarding in the French Alps. Renowned for its extensive slopes, challenging terrain, and vibrant après-ski scene.

The highest ski resort in Europe, Val Thorens is the world’s largest ski domain. This purpose-built ski village sits at 2,299 metres in a grand amphitheatre that rises another 914 metres into a glacier wonderland. The vast, challenging terrain here is treeless and white and the season is from May to October. The terrain surrounding the resort suggests a younger, more aggressive crowd. That is confirmed in the lively bar and disco scene. If there is a negative, it is that the high perch above the tree line limits a skier’s ability to soar during a whiteout!
