Here is a little overview of the main innovations that are waiting for you during your skiing holidays.
Faster and more comfortable ski lifts
If some skiers might have been disappointed not to be able to take the Cime Caron cable car in Val Tho last year, they shouldn't be worried! The staff has been working relentlessy for months, to enable the opening of this ski lift from the beginning of the winter season. New cables, electrical boxes and engines: everything was made to take you safely up to 3,200 metres in altitude. From this summit, you can ski down the red slopes in the direction of Val Thorens or explore the nice Freeride skiing area. By the way, you must be aware that our ski shop has the gear you need to spend a great time on powdered slopes: rent your Freeride skis online from now to make the most of it!
Besides, new ski lifts saw the light of day elsewhere on the ski area:
- There is a brain new gondola in Saint-Martin, which enables the transportation of 2,400 people per hour.
- In Courchevel 1300, a new gondola with seats gives you the opportunity to reach Courchevel 1850 in barely more than 5 minutes.
A constantly evolving ski area, for the greatest pleasure of all skiing enthusiasts
Even though les 3 Vallées ski area takes advantage of a perfect location, guaranteeing a nice snow cover all season long, we can never be sure that there will be enough snow falling. In order to offer the best skiing conditions, new snow guns have been installed above Val Thorens, near the "Plateaux" ski trail.
On the ski area, the choice has been made to make it easier for novice skiers and snowboarders to have an access to fun and Freestyle skiing areas. Therefore, the Funslope Skicross in Orelle has been created: here is your chance to try this acrobatic sport!
A few new ski trails also complement the already existing hundreds kilometres of descent. There are 2 red slopes (Gypaete and Daguet) in Méribel, 3 new slopes in the off-piste skiing area in Courchevel and a blue slope in Courchevel Moriond.
