Since 1971 the full Three Valleys ski area has been interlinked with one of the Alps' largest ski lift networks. Over 600km of piste, nearly 200 modern lifts and acres of fantastic off-piste terrain await the keen skier or snowboarder. The Courchevel Valley to the east offers the four resorts that used to be known specifically by their altitude (now known as Courchevel 1850, Courchevel Moriond, Courchevel Village and Courchevel Le Praz, as well as La Tania. The middle Meribel Valley is home to the upper resort of Mottaret, the main resort Meribel, Meribel Village and Meribel Les Allues which sits a little lower down the valley. There are also many smaller hamlets such as La Gittaz and Nantgerel. To the west lies the Belleville River valley which is where you will find the resorts of St Martin de Belleville, and the high purpose built ski resorts of Reberty, Les Menuires and Val Thorens.

  However, which ski resort in the Three Valleys should you choose for your next ski chalet holiday? We summarise the different resorts below...

  
  

  • Courchevel 1850
    This is one of the most prestigious ski resorts in the world with superb collection of luxury chalets (and hotels), high concentration of Michelin starred restaurants and wide array of top-class shopping. Easy access to superb high altitude skiing suitable for all standards. As might be expected from one of the world's best ski resorts the chalets of Courchevel 1850 come with suitable price tag attached.
  • Courchevel Moriond
    Formerly known as Courchevel 1650 this resort offers a high number of more affordable catered chalets and high class self-catering apartments. The local area is perfect for beginner skiers with wide, gentle slopes and high quality ski schools. It doesn't have the kudos of 1850 or the international recognition or the high-end shopping but it offers a quieter and more affordable option.
  • Courchevel Village
    Formerly known as Courchevel 1550 this resort lies immediately below the centre of Courchevel 1850 and is directly connected via gondola lift. Like Courchevel Moriond, it doesn't have the kudos of 1850 or the international recognition or the high-end shopping but it offers a quieter and more affordable option.
  • Courchevel Le Praz
    Formerly known as Courchevel 1300 this pretty, village style resort is one of the original farming communities in the valley and as such it offers considerable charm and a sense of place. The new 10-person high-speed gondola linking Le Praz directly to Courchevel 1850 in under 6 minutes was completed in 2019 and catapulted this charming resort into one of the most desirable locations in the valley.
  • La Tania
    Originally built for the 1992 Albertville Winter Olympics as a centre to house the athletes this resort has really come into its own over the last 30-40 years. Today there are lots of affordable catered chalets, many of which give easy ski in ski out access to the Moretta piste. The resort is largely car-free and as such is perfect for families. The apres ski scene in La Tania is now established with a couple of lively bars - more than enough to keep you entertained for a week's holiday.
  • Meribel Les Allues
    Like Courchevel Le Praz this was originally a farming community and the narrow pedestrian streets of the village centre reflect this rural heritage. It is linked to the main resort of Meribel by road and also by the Olympe Gondola which ascends the Doron Valley all the way from Brides Les Bains. There are some very dood value catered chalets located here. Ski locker rental is advised at the Chaudanne lift hub of main resort Meribel.
  • Meribel Village
    Meribel Village can easily be confused with main resort Meribel or Meribel Les Allues but it is totally separate from either. Linked to the ski slopes of the altiport area immediately above main Meribel this is a quiet, yet charming village resort. The Golf Chairlift provides easy access to the main ski area and 'The Lodge' is a lively apres ski bar / late night bar that often hosts live acts. The village offers a super market and good boulangerie but not much else so shoppers take note. Also worth noting is that ski schools do not meet here so if you are beginner and need to access the meeting points in Meribel main resort you will need to access the resort bus service.
  • Meribel
    Meribel is the main ski resort of the valley (with 36,000 - 40,000 tourist beds) and was first discovered and developed as a ski resort shortly after WWII. Today the resort sprawls up the lower slopes of the Saulire Mountain and offers a huge array of accommodation options in chalets, apartments and a growing number of luxury hotels. The resort is distinctly English in atmosphere with lively bars, nightclubs and apres ski venues such as the Folie Douce, Ronnies and Jack's Bar.
  • Mottaret
    Lying further up the valley at an altitude of 1,750 metres lies the purpose built resort of Mottaret which was first established in 1972 and later developed for the 1992 Winter Olympics. It is largely made up of affordable and large self-catering residence blocks but there are also a few catered chalets - also offering very good value accommodation.
  • St Martin de Belleville
    We are big fans of this pretty, chalet style resort with its high speed gondola linking directly to the high slopes above Les Menuires. Over the last two decades it has grown substantially as a luxury chalet ski resort where the land prices are still cheaper than in Meribel and considerably cheaper than in Courchevel. We have a superb collection of premier chalet properties in St Martin de Belleville which for the most part are offered at reasonable prices.
  • Reberty
    Reberty (and neighbouring Les Menuires) offers fantastic value with the cheapest chalet accommodation in the entire Three Valleys ski area. However, despite offering value the chalets of Reberty offer ski in ski out access (or just a very short walk) to the lifts and the ski school meeting point. Families love the chalets of Reberty as they offer affordable, snow-sure skiing well into April with terrain that is perfect for beginners and aspiring intermediates.
  • Val Thorens
    Val Thorens is often cited as the highest ski resort in the Alps. At an altitude of 2,300 metres we would certainly not disagree with this claim. With 25,000 plus tourist beds (mostly in cheaper self-catering apartments) this is a large resort and although built in a rather austere (from a distance) architectural style well above the tree-line it does have some charm once you are resort/street level. Access to and from the skiing is snow-sure from early December through to May and largely ski in ski out. The resort has a popular Folie Douce apres bar on the slopes above the centre and the resort is popular with young looking for a lively scene.
