THE 3 VALLEYS OFF-PISTE

The Three Valleys is the name given to a group of four well-known ski-resorts: Méribel, Courchevel, Les Menuires, and Val Thorens, which is the highest resort in Europe (2200m). There, off-piste skiing still retains a character of friendly secrecy, and you don't necessarily have to rise before dawn to make your own track in virgin snow.
