In had a French ski instructor who can also speak Dutch. Also there is in St. Martin Belleville a restaurant on the valley where the slope ends from Dutch owners... Great for me as Dutch one. Overall it was lucky because i didn't know this before i went.
Val Thorens always stood out to me as the most diverse population of skiers. I heard everything from Gaelic to Romansh while I was in VT. Great to see everybody from all over the world finding a place in Trois Vallées
Hi! Thanks for the very informative videos. Very helpful. Im heading there in March. Have a couple of questions: 1) Can you please explain what exactly you mean by "road"? You often say use that in your videos when explaining a particular trail. I saw a video by another UA-camr who said that he actually had to remove his skiis and actually walk on a (traffic) road to get to another ski lift because he made the wrong turn. I dont think that's what you mean, but could you please explain? 2) Since I will be at 3 Vallees for only a few days and this is my first time, I want to make the most of my time there. I don't want to spend a lot of time juat trying to figure out which blie trails lead where. Do you know if there are local guides there who for a fee will ski with you and show you around. I don't mind paying if it'll save me a lot of time. Thanks again!
Not sure where you have experience skiing, but in the United States, a road is the same as a cat track where it's just flat and narrow, typically going across the mountain instead of down it like a traditional piste. You'll typically have to deal with much higher skier density and the necessity of pushing/skating/walking on "roads" in the United States, and I just carried that definition over to Europe. As far as guides go, I'm sure they exist, but I wouldn't have the slightest clue where to even start looking for something like that.
Are there lifts that go from les menuires to val thorens? I just booked my holiday but might regret picking les menuires from the sound of it. I dont care about the villages I’m just there for the off piste skiing
Never been, sorry. I only had 1 week in France so I decided it was probably best just to get a good, detailed Trois Vallées instead of trying to do Trois Vallées, Paradiski, and Val d'Isère

@@SRGSkiing Okay. Thank you for the clarification! And thank you once again for the informative videos!
Whats the quiest way to get to st martin from val thorens in case of bad visibility?
Boulevard Cumin->Reberty Lift->Sunny Express Lift->Allèe->Roc 2 Lift->Grand Lac->Pelozet
Are there lifts that go from les menuires to val thorens? I just booked my holiday but might regret picking les menuires from the sound of it. I dont care about the villages I’m just there for the off piste skiing
There are no lifts directly from Menuires to VT. You can take the Bruyères Télécabine and ski down from the summit to get to Val Thorens, however.
Which skı area has the most nıce long blue slopes? Thanks
Probably Menuires, but I found Courchevel's to be nicer
@@SRGSkiing Thank you.
Can you do Val d’isere tignes? I’m going in 3 weeks
