Description
Long gentle descents to challenging chutes, if you are new to ski touring or you’re an experienced adventurer, you’ll find a route to suite you in this curated list of ski tours. With more than 600km of pistes and 180 lifts linking eight resorts across three parallel valleys, by many measures The Three Valleys is the largest ski area in the world.
With such a vast skiable area on and off piste, The Three Valleys really is the ultimate playground for all skiing abilities. If you’re looking to ease your way into off piste skiing, try the La Pyramide Avals route.
