Day Escapaders - The Hall of Fame
The Three Valleys Escapade in a day
29 or 30 different lifts, 12878m (42,250 feet) of vertical or Everest and a half
(or even 27 lifts if you hike a bit)
This is the lift company original promotion of visiting 14 points across the Three Valleys and gaining a certificate & badge over the period of your holiday. Doing it in a day is a bit tricky though!
Cards to be stamped at each check point are available from the La Tania lift pass office (although you need to go to the 1850 office for your certificate/badge) and all the check points are show on the current piste map - except the top of La Masse on the 3V map.
Come and have a go, if you think you're hard enough...
Note that the new X-Wing Discovery only has 10 points and doesn't count!
PS. You do this at your own risk, act responsibly, take ownership of your own actions, respect other people (& the mountain), ride within your limits, obey the skiers code, observe all signs, only ski off piste if fully equipped & knowledgable, it's not a race (you won't be insured), but above all, take care - don't wreck things for others and don't blame us if it goes horribly wrong, blah blah blah....
