World famous for being the largest ski area across the globe, the Three Valleys in France is a guaranteed good time for your family ski holidays. One of the most snow-sure ski resorts in Europe, the Three Valleys always has a great base for every level of skier. The super-efficient lift system, the biggest in the world, means you'll get more bang for your buck. Off the slopes, this winter wonderland brims with fun activities for all ages. Originally named for the three exceptional ski resorts, Courchevel, Meribel and Val Thorens, the Three Valleys now boast eight ski resorts. Each has their own personality for you to find the best one for your family ski holiday.
Proud home of the 1992 Winter Olympics and a potential host in 2030, Courchevel is one of the Northern Alps' most popular ski resorts. It has six villages, from calm La Tania to chic Courchevel 1850, whose ultra-luxe chalets and restaurants - some with Michelin stars - will seduce luxury travellers. Families also adore Courchevel for its kid-friendly learning areas, easy access to the mountain, and non-skiing activities like dog sledging.
Conveniently located in the middle valley, Meribel's boasts easy access to the 3 Vallées' 600kms of ski runs. Brimming with Alpine authenticity, its central location makes it ideal for both beginner and advanced skiers who will love the thrills of steep couloirs, like the 37° gradient Vertical Xperience. Meribel's Alpine authenticity is beloved by families, as are the many amenities like child care and all-level ski schools.
With its traditional stone-and-wood farmhouses, Saint-Martin-de-Belleville invites holiday-goers to experience the authentic charm of the Savoie. One of the good reasons to stay in Saint-Martin-de-Belleville is its relaxed atmosphere as one of the smaller villages in the Three Valleys. Families appreciate the calm away from the crowds, as well as the village's traditional restaurants.
As the highest resort in Europe, Val Thorens guarantees incredible snow throughout the Three Valley's long 5-month ski season. Off the slopes, take advantage of great restaurants or après-ski on convivial patios. Val Thorens is sure to please every member of your family. Adults will appreciate the luxury spas, kids will be wowed by the double zip line and ice waterfall, and the entire family will be thrilled by the Cosmojet, the longest toboggan run in the world!
More than fantastic snow, the Three Valleys ski resorts have a wealth of family-oriented ski activities. For beginners, there are plenty of green runs plus expert ski schools with English-language instructors. Snow parks beckon teens who like to do tricks. Parents of small children welcome the range of child care options so their little ones can play while they have fun on the slopes.
Don't worry if some family members don't ski. There are tons of fun winter activities to experience off piste. Go dog sledging or snow shoeing through beautiful trails lined with pine trees. Enjoy the thrills of a toboggan on rails in La Mine. Try your hand at ice skating or a new winter sport, snakegliss, where a sled chain slithers down the mountain. The Aquamotion water park in Courchevel has water slides for kids and soothing hot tubs for adults. Buy a pedestrian ski lift pass to soak up breathtaking views on the mountain, like on the Olympe Gondola in Meribel.
Fitting for the biggest ski area in the world, the Three Valleys has many chalets for large groups and multi-generational families. In Saint-Martin-de-Belleville, Chalet Éterlou has 8-bedrooms spread across 3 apartments giving families both privacy and shared spaces for lounging together. The magnificent Chalet Anoki in Courchevel 1550 boasts many amenities like an in-house staff, children's area, and games at just 100m from the slopes. In Meribel's Raffort Valley, Chalet des Neiges has 6 ensuite bedrooms, a spacious layout, and a home cinema for cozy movie nights.
Villanovo has a vast selection of luxury chalets by the slopes, with a heated swimming pool, catered or self-catered, and more.
