Our 3 Vallées champions’ secret spots

"Les Marmottes in Courchevel, for its elevation difference, walls, and the views."

Ranking

"My favourite piste is the boardercrossslope! We are so lucky to have a World Cup-standard piste for training. It’s amazing. It is also adapted for tourists who can enjoy a fun experience with the family." Chloé Trespeuch

"Given my background, my favourite is the cross-country pistes at the Plan de l’Eau in Les Menuires where I first got into my discipline! But when alpine skiing, I always drop by the Fred Covilipiste."

Ranking

"I don’t have a favourite piste, but rather a favourite circuit that means I have the slopes all to myself in the best conditions! I start with La Combe de Tougnète to soak up the sun and admire the view of Mont Blanc. Then I hit Bartavelle, Lagopède and Fouine, black slopes and great red sections with moguls! La Combe du Vallon is another essential stop. In the afternoon I head to the Couloir GoPro, with steep sections and moguls next to the Dent de Burgin and its magnificent peak. By following Chamois, Geai, Renard, Blanchot and Lapin, you end up in Méribel Village after skiing every type of piste. That’s my circuit in Méribel. In Courchevel, I love La Combe de la Saulire and the Piste des Creux. They’re beautiful and you can go so fast! In Val Thorens, I like skiing in the Moraine and Portetta sectors. There’s a great atmosphere at the foot of Les Saint Pères and Péclet."

Ranking

"La Haute Combe in Val Thorens for the natural variety of terrain and the superb view from the top. Then I take the La Loy piste down to Saint Martin. It’s magnificent."

Ranking

"Murette in Courchevel is the last piste I ski before going home. It’s a little gem hidden in the forest offering a blend of speed and technique."

Ranking

"My favourite pistes are those with a bold natural character, such as the Jérusalem piste in Saint Martin. But in general, I use the slopes to get to the off-piste sections!"

Ranking

"Without a second thought, L'Eclipse, leading to Courchevel Le Praz from the top of the ski area. I love the feeling of being alone in the world, and when the piste is groomed it’s sensational. Huge fun guaranteed! It’s also the piste of the 2023 Courchevel Méribel World Championships, which says a lot!"

Ranking

“My favorite run in Les 3 Vallées is the one at Courchevel 1650 ‘Les rochers’, I find it playful and pretty, and there are often few people on it.”

Ranking

“It's not a trail but a particular area that I enjoy. Les Creux Noirs reminds me of my first ski touring outings when I moved to the area three years ago. At the start of winter, before the resort opens, I love going up to Les Creux Noirs from Courchevel 1850 and then down to Les Creux, where the slope is playful, wide enough to make some nice turns, and the conditions are often good."

The La Loze piste in Courchevel, my favourite in Les 3 Vallées. A magnificent red run with a hilly start, then in the second part, a steep wall and to finish a long, not very steep slope between the fir trees. It's my favourite run because it's very playful and varied, the snow is always exceptional and the view of the Vanoise glaciers is magnificent. If you love carving like I do, you'll love it.
