1. Soaking up the beauty of winter and its spellbinding ambiance

Welcome to Les 3 Vallées in January! It may well get very cold, but the purity of the winter light intensifies the beauty of every landscape and panorama. Wrapped in a blanket of untouched snow, the mountains boast the season’s most stunning wintry-white look.

You’ll be captivated by the days of heavy snowfall, as the white gold falls from the sky, enveloping you in a fluffy, comforting atmosphere, and taking you back to your childhood. Not to mention the glittering snow that sparkles and shines in the sunshine as you take to the slopes, making time stand still for a moment...

2. Playing back your day over a mulled wine or hot chocolate

Cheeks aglow from a day spent in the cold fresh air, round the day off in one of Les 3 Vallées’ many welcoming bars, tea rooms, or other cosy/trendy après-ski hot spots.

Warm up with a delicious hot drink prepared by your host, feel re-energised as you savour a moment of sweet delight, look out of the window and admire the last rays of sun as they reflect on the snow-capped mountains… and look back on the most memorable moments of the day.


3. Finding the right location and the right side of the mountain, whatever the weather

With 7 inter-connected resorts and some 600km of runs over 1,512 hectares, it goes without saying that you’ll always find a solution to get around varying weather conditions. If it’s snowing, maybe you’d be better off staying on the lower slopes?

If the fog is hovering around at altitudes of 2,000 metres, don’t worry, 85% of the ski area is located above 1,800 metres, with 10 summits reaching over 2,500 metres. If you’re feeling a bit chilly, head for the south-facing slopes. And if visibility is not the best, why not slip on a pair of cross-country skis and set off to explore the 120km of Nordic ski trails?

Whilst the school holidays have come to an end for most French visitors, our Russian guests (loyal fans of Les 3 Vallées) come to our resorts to celebrate their Christmas on the 6th of January.

Keen ski enthusiasts, our British neighbours are also quite partial to a snowsports break in January. It’s a great time to soak up different cultures, try out your French, and still be able to speak in English if you need to!
