The Three Valleys
Courchevel, Méribel, the Belleville valley.
The valleys we know best, chalet by chalet, table by table.
Courchevel, Méribel and the Belleville valley, joined on skis into the largest linked ski area in the world. This is where the house was born, and where we know which chalet catches the evening sun, which instructor your children will love, and which table to hold before the season begins.
