Hi All. Keen to take my family (2 young kids) to do a season in the 3 valleys. Looking for a recommendation on the best village in terms of traditional French look and feel. Keen to stay at a reasonable height where you would expect snow around the chalet through Jan - March. Love your recommendations and advise. Cheers.

I thought they are all rather false apart from St Martine but it isn't really snow sure Maybe Meribel Village ?

Hi Luck
When we go to the 3V we stay in Mottaret, just above Meribel. Admittedly it's slightly soulless but it's a simple ski down to Meribel, where there is plenty going on, and an easy bus journey back up every 10 mins through the evening once the cable cars shut.
The good thing about Mottaret is that it's got lifts off to all the different locations in the 3V so makes a great base, and there are plenty of chalets of varying sizes.
If you need any more info, please be in touch.
Good luck in your choosing

Les Menuires is neither scenic nor atmospheric but it does have the quickest access to the best skiing in the Three Valleys at La Masse!

St Martine de Belleville is a small, traditional village that connects into the 3V area. Meribel, Mottaret, Les Menuires, Courcheval and Val Thoren are large heavily developed villages, with lots of large apartment blocks/hotels. However, they do offer good access onto the slopes.

Don't discount La Tania, it's tiny but has great access to the whole area and is cheaper than it's near neighbors.
When in doubt?....Flat out.

I would echo the thoughts on Les Menuires and the hamlet just above - Reberty.
Ski in-out and good access to the est of the 3V
