Our most beautiful and easy itineraries starting out from Courchevel

After having made it to the small family resort of Courchevel-La Tania, head for the Tania gondola lift, and then the Dou des Lanches chairlift up to the Col de la Loze.

A whole new universe awaits you from this unique panoramic viewpoint where paragliders take off, and which played hosted to the finish of a stage of the Tour de France in July 2023!

From here, make your way into the Méribel valley, famous for its authentic stone and wood chalets.

For a nice gentle ski down, take the Boulevard de la Loze blue run, or for more of a challenge you can take the slightly steeper Pic Bleu run.

A visit to the Altiport and its forest trails is a must. The piste des animaux animal trail with its life-size figurines of the local fauna will particularly appeal to young skiers.

Before hopping on the Altiport chairlift, you can watch the airplanes taking off and landing at Méribel’s Altiport. Once at the top of this chairlift, appreciated by groups and large families because its 8 seats mean you can all go up together, you head to Méribel centre via the Blanchot, Marmotte and Doron runs!

You’ll love the Legends chairlift with its heated seats. You can even sit on seats embroidered with the names of the great alpine ski champions who took part in the 2022 World Cup Finals on the mythical Roc de Fer run.

And the resort of Méribel will be in the thick of it again when it hosts the 2023 Alpine Ski World Championships!

Then take the new Cherferie chairlift, which takes you straight up to a quiet summit, with breath-taking panoramas.

The Saint Martin gondola lift and chairlift take you back to the Méribel valley, where you can head for Méribel Mottaret and a loop of the fun Faon run, before moving on to the Perdrix and the end of the Yeti Park.

Fun lovers will enjoy the kingdom of Yooni the Yeti, a gentle snowman, and its Himalayan atmosphere.

Take the Pas du Lac gondola back up to the Saulire. Les 3 Vallées’ iconic summit that offers one of the most breath-taking views of:

From Courchevel (any of the villages), you can reach the summit of the Saulire by the Verdons and Vizelle gondola lifts. The iconic Saulire cable car will be running again in December 2024. Once you’ve reached the top of Vizelle, a photo stop to catch the incredible panorama is a must!

The 360° panorama of the most beautiful Alpine peaks is moving to say the least, with views over:

Take the Biche, Marmotte and Doron runs to reach Méribel snow front. This is a great opportunity to see the famous finishing line of the Roc de Fer run for the 2023 Alpine Ski World Championships! 

Once there, hop onto the heated seats of the Legends chairlift, and head down to Méribel Mottaret to pick up the Combes and Châtelet chairlifts. During the ride up, enjoy the show on your left at the 'Bump'N'Jump', a freestyler’s paradise!

Then take the Côte Brune chairlift, soon to be replaced by a more modern lift. 

Welcome to the Mont de la Chambre at an altitude of 2,850 metres! This point is the junction with the Belleville Valley (home to Les Menuires, Saint-Martin-de-Belleville and Val Thorens). From here, head for Val Thorens via the Pluviomètre run, taking the path on the left. This track goes through the middle of the highest resort in Europe, ending at the snow front.

The return trip starts with the Pionniers and 3 Vallées chairlifts.

On the first lift, watch out for a glimpse of the buzzing atmosphere at the famous Folie Douce Val Thorens and on the second lift, applaud the courageous skiers who have launched themselves down the infamous black Goitschel run!
