Early Season
From December 8th to December 21st 2007 the resort of Courchevel will offer a skipass called "1eres neiges" literally meaning "First Snow"!
This skipass is fantastic value and gives access to the open ski lifts in the 3 Vallees region. A 6 day adult "1eres neiges" skipass costs 149€ compared to 220€ normally!
Early December is a fantastic time to ski the 3 Valleys region due to its reputation for early snowfalls and its high altitude resorts. In fact the 3 Valleys has the highest ski resort in Europe at 2300 metres…the glacier allows for summer skiing and ensures they have snow throughout the year!
Courchevel's reputation for early snowfalls and a discounted skipass are great reasons to holiday in December.
Alternatively, why not stay in Courchevel from April 19th to April 27th 2008 for the Spring Skiing. The "Spring Skipass" gives access to the following lifts: Meribel (Burgin, Rhodos, Tougnete) + Mottaret (Pas du Lac, Plattieres, Cote Brune, Mt Vallon) + open lifts in 1850, 1650, 1550, Le Praz + Val Thorens and Les Menuires!
Long sunny days with perfect blue skies gives a perfect winter suntan and great skiing within the 3 Valleys!
