Les 3 Vallées are home to eight ski resorts that are linked together by a unique network of ski lifts and ski runs. Firstly, the Saint-Bon valley : with four resorts altogether, located at an altitude of 1300 to 1850 metres and between them forming Courchevel ski resort. The second and neighbouring valley is that of Les Allues. It comprises two resorts that make up the heart of Les 3 Vallées, Méribel and Méribel-Mottaret, located at an altitude of 1500 and 1700 metres respectively. Then, Brides-les-Bains (at an altitude of 600 metres) is a spa resort that is linked by cable car to Méribel, the main town in the Allues valley.
Between the two large valleys nestles the smaller one of La Perrière. It recently joined the successful ski area with the construction of the resort of La Tania (at an altitude of 1350 metres). Next is the largest valley in the ski area - the Belleville valley is home to three resorts : St-Martin-de-Belleville (1400 metres), Les Menuires (1850 metres) and Val Thorens (2300 metres), the highest ski resort in Europe. Not forgetting Orelle, at an altitude of 900 metres) in the Maurienne valley which enabled the southern slopes to be equipped for skiing, providing access to the top of Les 3 Vallées®: la Pointe du Bouchet (3400 metres).
