:( Shows how long since I was there.
Thinking about it, it was last century, and it was 2000 or 2001 when I was last in the 3V when we stayed in Courchevel.
Maybe it's time to go back and see what has changed :twisted:

The Combe de Rosael black run off the back of the Cime Caron is the more interesting way into the 4th valley. Just a little squiggle on the piste map it's actually quite a long run.

We sometimes take the Rhodos lift from Meribel and the chair the Loze to go over the Col de La Loze rather than Saulire. Its a quicker way because there are less lines/queues we find. Skiing down to La Tania or Le Praz allows you to get the Dou des Lanches back up to the top for either a cruisy blue or (often closed) Black down into Meribel Villages. Be sure to do Mont Vallon - superb views and runs down.

As the others said, as you are an advanced skier, you will be skiing all over the 3 Valleys everyday so make sure you buy yourself a 3 valleys ski pass. We live right on the other side of the 3 valleys in Courchevel 1650 and it takes about 1 hour 40 mins to 2 hours to reach the centre of Val Thorens. The area is huge and half the fun is exploring everywhere. I hope that you love it as much as we do! Bon ski.
