Hands Free Passes

Introduced for Winter 2005/6 were automatic hands free lift passes that operate turnstiles as you approach (you keep the pass in your left hand side pocket). A photo is only required for season passes and the free under 5 and over 75 passes (it is scanned in and can be checked on hand held monitors at lift stations - it's not on the pass itself).

 

The new hands free turnstiles at the La Tania Gondola

 

A re-chargeable pass that can be charged up via the internet for an additional 3 Euros is now available, therefore no requirement to visit the lift pass office ever again! Passes can be replaced if lost (less an admin fee) too.

 

Summer Lift Openings 2007 2007 Summer Lift Opening Times (pdf)

The La Tania Gondola opens on Mon, Tue & Thu. Verdons and Saulire lifts open every day. The Pas du Lac lift from the Méribel Valley opens on Mon, Tue, Thu, Sun. Brides Les Bains lift is not opening for Summer 2007. Note that special openings happen on the 2/3 July 2007 due to the 3VTT competitions, Friday openings vary through out the Summer and all are subject to change due to the weather, staff shortages, maintenance etc. Some lifts close for lunch too!

 

Buying your lift pass

There is a 3 Euro deposit charge for re-chargeable passes which can be re-charge on-line at s3v.com
 
Lift passes are available all day from the Gondola lift pass office in La Tania from 08:45 to 16:30 (19:00 on a Saturday night in Winter) or on-line. Photos are only required for season passes or the free under 5 / over 75 passes. There are 2 photo machines, the staff speak English and they do take credit cards!
 
It used to be possible to buy passes for the next day from 3:30pm and get several runs in at the end of the day for "free", this has now ended as passes can be bought well in advance and are validated the first time they are scanned at a turnstile.
 
Note however that your chalet staff, rep or apartment agency may sort passes out for you and have them delivered to you on the morning of your first ski.

 

Age Groups - Proof of age required to get discounted passes

Baby - Under 5's (Ski Free)
Child - Over 5 and under 13
Adult - Over 13 and under 65
Senior - Over 65 and under 75
Veteran - Over 75 (Ski Free)
Family - 2 Parents plus a minimum of 2 children aged over 5 and under 18

 

The Courchevel Valley Pass

Gives you access to all the lifts in 1850, 1650, 1550, Le Praz and La Tania - still a huge area to ski and will usually be fine for complete beginners. It is possible to buy 1 day extensions to make it a 3V pass (Adult €21.50) and this may be an option if you only intend to head over to the Méribel side once in a week (Méribel is a lot sunnier in late afternoon mind!).
 

The Three Valley Pass

Lets you use any of the 200 lifts and is recommended for most skiers and boarders to explore the entire 600km of pistes throughout Courchevel 1850, 1650, 1550, Le Praz, La Tania, Méribel, Mottaret, Méribel Village, Val Thorens, Les Menuires, St Martin de Belleville and Brides Les Bains.
 
If you buy a 6 day or more Three Valleys pass you can ski for 1 day in one of the following areas (subject to all areas being open, snow conditions etc): Tignes / Val d'Isère (Espace de Killy), La Plagne / Les Arcs / Peisey Vallandry (the new Paradiski linked area) for free (not the rumoured €10 charge that was planned for 2007/8). Pralognan La Vanoise and Les Saisies look like they are not now included. REMEMBER TO TAKE RECEIPTS AND THE PASS WITH YOU!
 

The Family Pass

2 Adults plus 2 kids can have 6 days in The Three Valleys for €704 (or Courchevel Valley for €570). Passes are a minimum of 6 days with special rates up to 14 days and options for 3,4,5 or 6 kids. Note that "kids" are classed as under 18 for these rates instead of under 13 as for individual passes. That means two adults and four 17 year olds could ski the Three Valleys for 14 days for €2276 instead of €2934 - a saving of €658 (note that separate passes are issued, you don't have to ski together!)
 

Pedestrian Pass

For access to the main gondolas and cable cars. Note that the ski bus from 2005/6 no longer requires any pass - it was very rarely checked anyway. Pedestrian Pass costs €15 per day or 6 days for €50
 

Early Season Ski Pass

For skiing from 08/12/07 - 21/12/07. Various discounts available with possible limited area skiing eg. 6 day Three Valley pass for only €149
 

Late Season Spring Ski Pass

Normally valid from the 19/04/08 to 27/05/08. Various discounts available eg. 6 day Three Valley pass for only €176
 

The Option Pass

Gives 12 days skiing whenever you want throughout the whole season. Adult Three Valleys €470 and Courchevel Valley €378
 

Beginners Pass

For use over in the Courchevel 1850 area includes the Jardin Alpin, Grangettes & Praz gondolas plus decent length drags Ferme, Altiport & Ecureuil. Costs €15 per day or €12 for the morning (9:30-12:30) or afternoon (after 12:30) regardless of age.
