For budding skiers, there are few better destinations than the Three Valleys in the French Alps. It’s the largest ski area in the world linked with lifts and is perfect for experienced skiers and beginners alike; a great destination for groups of friends. With over three hundred runs the main difficulty will be finding time to fit everything in. In fact, you’ll probably end up returning year after year in order to tick more runs off your list. Staying in a luxury ski chalet makes this destination even more special, and since these are available in all of the three valleys, it’s really just about which one takes your fancy! Meribel The Meribel valley is a good one if you want to explore the other two as well as it sits right in the middle. Luxury ski chalets here are of a really high standard, so your group won’t be disappointed. The way the lifts and the pistes are set up in this valley means that the skiing is varied and great for all abilities. When it comes to that all important après-ski Meribel has an abundance of options, and there are a few top quality bars offering happy hours and a late night party atmosphere too. This resort is known for being one of the best of the Three Valleys in terms of nightlife, so if that’s your kind of thing, Meribel could be for you! Courchevel Made up of five small villages, Courchevel is a great place to go if you like Michelin Star restaurants, luxury, ski chalets that cater for your every whim and, of course, world-renowned slopes. Lower down the valley, the village of La Tania is also a great place to stay for variety when it comes to bars and restaurants; it offers you something different for every night of the week. Val Thorens As the highest ski resort in western Europe and boasting a fabulous 150km of slopes (as well access to the rest of the Three Valleys), you can pretty much guarantee the quality of the snow at Val Thorens. There’s something for both beginners and seasoned skiers and there’s a lot to offer snowboarders as well. But you can also count on the superb range of luxury ski chalets available, with doorstep skiing, a great range of resort facilities, and a vibrant après-ski atmosphere. There’s a very good selection of bars and restaurants from which to choose, including a Michelin-starred one. The Choice is Yours No matter which of the three you choose, a skiing holiday in this iconic area will be an experience unlike anything you or your friends will have had before. With bustling nightlife, fantastic slopes and brilliant things to do off-piste, there is no chance you won’t have an amazing time. When choosing your luxury ski chalet it’s a great idea to talk to a reputable company who can help take the hassle out of organising everything. They can also give you the lowdown on each area, information on the best restaurants and where the best skiing can be found. Using a ski company is a great way to take your trip to the next level.
