ESCAPADE 2025: Brothers Nick and Danny<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After an unsuccessful attempt on Monday, we set off again on Wednesday the 19th of Feb 2025 from Airelles in Les Menuires.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

We made some tactical improvements to go faster: (1) leaving our parents behind; (2) getting to Bettex super early; (3) not breaking equipment on the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result we were on the first lift up, and despite an inevitable delay at Bruyeres, and one wrong turn leading to an extra run in Val T, we made rapid progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We made it through all the Courchevel villages and back to Meribel with time to spare, so joined up with our parents for a more leisurely cruise to St Martin and back to Les Menuires.

ESCAPADE 2025 \u2013 What\u2019s this all about\u2026<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

The 3 Valleys Escapade was the lift company promotion of visiting (originally in 2006) 14 points across the Three Valleys and gaining a certificate & badge over the period of your holiday \u2013 doing it in a day was a bit tricky though!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It all started out as a late night \u201cis it possible?<\/em>\u201d discussion \u2013 the history and our original route from 2006 are here<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Originally punch cards had to be stamped at each check point until electronic passes arrived and then the use of a lift was recorded \u2013 now we use Apps such as Ski Tracks or Relive to prove our route.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note that the Escapade is no longer officially promoted by Les 3 Vallees from Winter 2017 but we still record successful tracks for anyone who is interested in being in the sought after La Tania Escapade Hall of Fame<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
