It will be possible to ski continuously from La Saulire (2700m) to Courchevel Village (1500m) and from (2200m) Loze to La Tania (1400m)

Les 3 Vallées links will be provided by the higher link points (La Saulire between Courchevel and Méribel, Col de la Chambre between Méribel-Mottaret and Val Thorens, Les 3 Marches and Tougnète between Meribel and Les Menuires)

All stations will be connected:
By gondola round trip for Courchevel Le Praz and Courchevel Moriond (1650) and returning by skis possible for La Tania, Courchevel 1850 & Courchevel Village (1550).

S3V are continuing their snowmaking production to ensure other openings as soon as possible and the plan for opening of the other valleys will be released shortly.

So the Folyères blue piste down to La Tania is confirmed and the only real surprise is no Suisses confirmed. Could be saving this and waiting until the busier Christmas week of course.

 

Update 7 Dec – Meribel Expected Lifts and Pistes

meribelopening640
Update on the lift and piste opening for this weekend in the Meribel Valley.

Saulire Express 1&2 plus Rhodos 1&2 on the Saulire side with Chamois, Biche and Marcassin to mid stations plus Doron piste lower down marked as expected too.
Chamois bottom section is marked as closed on the live maps and Saulire 1 is stating that return must be via gondola. I’d expect Folie to Ronnie route at least.

Tougnette, Plattieres and Cote Brune areas all open too so plenty of skiing available.
