Méribel-Mottaret / Courchevel
We all know how quickly the cold can drain the battery of our smartphones. Haven’t we all run out of battery just when trying to meet up with friends or wanting to check the route on our phone? So you don’t get caught out, Méribel Mottaret and Courchevel provide you with free phone recharging points! Thanks to lockers secured with the PIN of your choice, you can leave your phone to recharge while you go off for a few runs.

In Meribel Mottaret : find them in front of the Mont Vallon gondola, at the top of the Plan des Mains chairlift and Plattières gondola, and at the bottom of the Bouquetin chairlift.

In Courchevel : you will find phone charging stations at the top of the Chenus gondola, at the top of the Verdons gondola and at the top of the Ariondaz gondola.

Val Thorens
Warm up in La Ruche...

This winter, take a break in La Ruche shelter located at the start of La Bee zip line in Val Thorens. The shelter has been renovated and is now ready to welcome you. Inside, you can learn about bees and their role in our ecosystem and try to win a prize by taking part in the quiz !

Les Menuires
This news will delight impatient skiers ! With the arrival of 13 new cabins on the Pointe de la Masse gondola, you can access one of the most beautiful spots in Les 3 Vallées with less queuing. These new cabins will allow 400 more people to be transported every hour.

Méribel
Over the summer, Méribel’s lift company worked on installing a solar power station with 182 double-sided photovoltaic panels at the mid-station of the Saulire Express gondola.

This provides no less than 400m2 of surface area which will produce energy thanks to the reflection of the snow (the albedo effect). This innovation, unique in France and in the mountains, shows the ski area's real commitment to the transition to green energy.

Les Menuires
Aware of the importance of reducing our impact and contributing towards sustainable development in the mountains, Les Menuires and Saint-Martin-de-Belleville are also playing their part!

On the ski area, 30 snow cannons have been replaced by snow guns that use 7 times less air than the old ones. This is a great initiative which will considerably reduce energy consumption.

Méribel Mottaret / Courchevel
