Sorry if this has been asked before but I can't find it. Just watching the ladies slalom live on Eurosport and wondered if there was any areas of the 3 Valleys that is floodlit and allows people to do a bit of night skiing? Thanks in advance

Thanks everyone, I'll look a proper tourist now with all my notes shoved in my pockets lol

Thanks guys

We are staying in Brides, so technically central. Heard VT is quite busy, but assume that'll be due to it's the best place to ski. We are going first week in February. She's alright with reds, but she's only truly happy when she's in control, so doesn't like too many reds at once. (What am i saying? She's never bloody happy)

Found this website this morning with a few guides and don't know if these are a good baseline to follow http://www.meribel-unplugged.co.uk/samer.htm

Has anyone got any links to websites that detail planned routes around 3v's? Had one for PDS this year and it helps for the first 2/3 days to explore without tripping over a black run unexpectedly and having to deal with the wife crying ?

Thank you, that's kind. I'm now searching between resorts. Can anyone tell me if it is possible to ski down to brides les bains or do you have to get a lift at les allures? The pistes maps I can get from google don have any marked pistes down to BLB. Thanks

Looks good then for 3v's. We will probably book up for the 3v's and then I'll be able to make my own opinion. I loved PDS but stayed in Chatel which always meant a bus ride after exploring our side on the first day or two. I don't understand the term "motorway skiing" though

Evening everyone, was keen to know people's ideas, experiences on the difference between skiing in Portes Du Soleil and the 3 Valleys. We went to PDS this year in February, and loved it. Great snow, and some fantastic runs that seemed to just last forever. This year, we are looking at 3V's. Every brochure seems to think it's bigger and better. Is it a case of "the grass is greener"? It's 6 family members between 20 and 48, seasoned skiers and we ain't too bothered about Apres Ski. (Don't see the point of drinking yourself silly when surrounded by lovely snow -) )
