Val Thorens wins on this front but Meribel sits in the middle of the three valleys so it's easiest to get everywhere. If you want to ski the whole area, Meribel is best; if you think you'll just stick to one resort then Val Thorens is best and you'll say a bit of money on your ski pass. Final thing I'd add: If you want blues because it's your thing then this won't matter but if it's because you aren't comfortable on reds then getting from valley to valley can be stressful. The slopes aren't always easy and can be very busy so even the blues can feel more intimidating Hope this helps!

@SudokuWarriorApp Thank you so much. This has been very helpful. All the best.

@SudokuWarriorApp What I read is when you are in Meribel, taking to the top gondola/lift from Meribel is something like you can be easily in Courchevel. (even in Val Thorens)...Is this correct? Thanks.

@@ufukgoksu9851 Hi, I'm not sure I understood your question perfectly so let me know if I'm not answering it well. From Meribel it's easy and pretty quick (30-60 minutes?) to get to Courchevel or Val Thorens if you're a confident skier and you don't get stuck in a long lift line. It takes a lot longer to get from Val Thorens to Courchevel because you have to go down to Meribel and back up. It ends up being a quite a long day to get there and back without risking getting stuck in the wrong village but it's good fun - plenty of people have done it before (including me) but would recommend checking the weather first! Hope this helps!

@@ufukgoksu9851 Yeah, getting to Courchevel and Val Thorens is easy from Meribel so long as you're a confident skier. If you're not a confident skier then I'd advise being a lot more careful about planning your route to not get stuck somewhere that either 1) requires taking a busier/more difficult slope to get back or 2) takes a surprisingly long time via runs you'd be comfortable with You can get to Courchevel and back from Val Thorens (I've done it) but it'll take you most of the day and benefits from good weather as well as going at a time when the lift queues aren't too long. Getting back across valleys can take a while towards the end of the day. Hope this helps!

The cable car is included in the Portes du Soleil lift pass yes. Also from Paris we'd recommend the TGV to Thonon-les-Bains or Cluses and hop on the bus or a taxi from there (45 mins ish) - see the timetable and a little more info here - www.seeavoriaz.com/buses

For apres/nightlife Plagne Centre or 1800 (with La Mine bar) are your best bets. For non-ski activities Belle Plagne is a great option with the Deep Nature Spa for hot tubs, pools, steam rooms etc.. take a look at La Plagne FAQs for more info - www.skiyodl.com/blogs/la-plagne-faqs

Hey, we've booked a chalet for 10 of us jan 25. What time do the slopes open and close? Thanks

@@Davewithamullet Hope you're enjoying your trip!

Hey there! Courchevel has heaps going for it, a world-class ski area for one, It’s an amazing place to ski, but it does come at a price. The resort is consistently one of the most expensive resorts in the Alps. Yes, the villages around 1850 such as Moriond, Village, Le Praz or La Tania are a slight step down price wise but it’s still one of the most expensive places to ski in the Alps.

We would say roughly the same, but if you go to places like La Tania or 1550 in Courchevel, there are definitely budget options that can still provide you with the best skiing!

@@skiyodl5317 Thanks

Worse than Switzerland though?

If you're talking about the Orelle valley, I can vouch for it. I went there a few weeks ago and not only did it have the best snow of all the valleys, it has several good runs and is also very quiet.
