Mountain Do
By Linda Tancs
The largest ski resort in the world is Les 3 Vallées in France, boasting resort areas Val Thorens, Les Menuires, Meribel and Courchevel. With an enviable 600 km of skiable area, you might expect the luxe destination to be largely off-limits to the uninitiated. Au contraire. Out of the area’s 330 runs, practically half are easy and half are for experts. And all are superbly accessible thanks to one of the most efficient and modern ski lift networks in the world. Eighty piste grooming machines guarantee snow cover from the beginning of December to the end of April over the entire ski area. That gives you plenty of time to plan your stay.
