3 Valleys Piste Map for 2025 now available

 

 
The new 2025 Three Valleys Piste Map is now available to download. It includes just the two "new" logos this year - The new Deux Lacs 10 seater gondola in Val Thorens and the new restaurant building at the Cime Caron summit (a 130 seat restaurant with wine bar and rooftop bar / viewing area).
 
The new Face Nord blue piste above Asters down from the Col de Thorens at the top of the Thorens Funitel that we think was skied / tested last Winter is now marked on the map. Similarly the Marières piste introduced last year linking the Gros Tougne and Pelozet pistes above St Martin is now detailed.
 
No marking of a rumoured rope tow to link up the flat track at the top of the Bouc Blanc chair area from the "Rock" near to Chenus - this would be hand for beginners heading back from Méribel to La Tania avoiding the black and red runs (or course if they kept Coqs - which is still marked - this wouldn't be so much of an issue).
 
Coqs is still there - but probably for the last time and who know how often it will open, probably just when Chenus breaks down! The repaired Saulire Cable Car is re-instated on to the map and is due to open for the 6 December 2024 opening.
 
The red Moretta run in to #LaTania terminates early linking with the green Plan Fontaine piste through the forest back to resort as was the case last year as the Moretta Village building work continues.

 

The individual valley maps are now available on our Piste Maps Page
