02 March 2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was an intense but fantastic day on the mountains. We originally planned to start from Plein Sud, but when it was due to open we were informed of technical issues. We had to quickly find an alternative so we decided to go to Deux Lacs so we could reach P\u00e9clet and begin from the Orelle side instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Making it all in time was super challenging. P\u00e9clet had a 20 minute queue. Later we encountered additional queues at Mont Vallon (15 minutes) and Pas du Lac (around 30 minutes). All valleys were extremely busy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also had a small setback when one glove was lost mid-run, requiring a 10\u201320 minute uphill (very tiring) walk to retrieve it. Additionally, we missed the road toward Saint Martin and had to take Olympic twice, which cost us extra time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite technical lift issues, long queues, crowded slopes, and a navigation error, we completed the full Escapade in a day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was tough, but an unforgettable experience \u2014 and we\u2019re very proud to have finished!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kind regards,
Casper<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

ESCAPADE 2026 \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

Send a pic of yourselves on the day with your successful tracker data & screenshot plus a story of your day to toffa@latania.co.uk<\/a> and you’ll get your place in the HoF.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
