The Three Valleys, in the heart of the French Alps has rightly earned its name as the largest integrated skiing area in the world. 330 marked ski-slopes offer a total of 600 kilometres of pure skiing enjoyment. Thanks to around 180 ski-lifts, the ski-slopes (between 1300m and 3200 m) are reached quickly and easily, including glacier areas. The enormous infrastructure of ski-runs and lifts connects not only the large ski stations at Val Thorens, Les Menuires, Meribel-Mottaret and Courchevel with one another but also the up-and-coming smaller skiing locations at Saint Martin and La Tania.
The Belleville valley, with the ski stations St. Martin, Les Menuires and Val Thorens, the Courchevel valley with its tiered landscape districts of Courchevel 1300, 1550, 1650 and 1850 are all connected together with the centrally situated Méribel valley into a massive skiing area. Good Skiers can experience all three valleys of the skiing area in a single day, having the choice of countless ski-runs. However there is something for everyone from easy to difficult runs, so that experienced skiers as well as beginners can enjoy the three Valleys.
The Olympic Centre in Meribel has an ice rink, Olympic size pool with kids pool and slides, and crèche facilities. All just at the top of the Gondola from Brides Les Bain. Meribel itself also offers an impressive choice of Apres-Ski, cafes, restaurants and shops. There are free shuttle buses up to Meribel one evening a week (look on ski.Brides-les-Bain website for up the up-to-date time table).
Brides Les Bains is also famous for its spa and thermal bathing facilities. In the summer it is as lively as in the winter and is a great base to explore the Alps (walking, mountain biking, horseriding, white water rafting, kayaking etc). It is a very pretty town with a central central river, lots of lovely shops, bars and restaurants, but without the high prices of the rest of the three valleys.
In high ski season our usual changeover day is Saturday. In low season, we can be more flexible so please contact us with your request if you plan to arrive on a dfferent day.
