les 3 vallees

looking for advice. Planning a trip to val thorens in 2019. just never skied abroad just in the states and advice or info would be appreciated

love it there, massive variety of runs i usually stay in Les Menuire, but the skiing there is awesome. enjoy

The Three Valleys is an amazing area. Well deserves its top reputation in my view.
Val Thorens is over on one end with Meribel in the middle valley and Courchevel at the other end. It is a high resort and can be bleak, especially early in the season.
When do you have your trip planned for?
Personally I think Meribel Mottaret is the best village for a central location in the Three Valleys.

Lively place ..the highest resort in the 3V generally excellent skiing but I don't think a resort for beginners . Not the cheapest place in the world but the skiing is great

12 of us are going Dec 26th thru jan 11 most of us a intermediate to advanced skiers

Very early season then. So it is a gamble on the weather.
With a slow start to the snow being high up as in Val Thorens is an advantage although the snow making facilities across the 3 valleys is excellent.
If the weather while you are there is bad (storms, whiteouts, heavy snow) then being high up is a disadvantage as few lifts may be open whereas in the lower resorts there may be more available skiing.
It is a gamble either way.
Do have a look at Meribel Mottaret - which could be a good compromise in the early season with easy accessibility to all three valleys.

thank you for the info and advice

now advice on some where to stay at les 3 vallees that will not break the bank and ideas
