What is the cross-country skiing ?

Nordic skiing encompasses a number of skiing disciplines practised without the use of ski lifts, including cross-country skiing, a discipline practised with fine, lightweight equipment on groomed, marked trails. The skier advances by pushing one foot after the other with the help of his or her poles, or by taking a gliding step.

Which is the largest ski area in France?

From the Vosges to the Pyrenees, passing through the Jura, the Southern Alps, the Northern Alps, and the Alpes de Haute-Provence, France offers a wide selection of Nordic skiing areas. With most of the cross-country ski domain situated at an altitude exceeding 1,850 meters, the snow quality is consistently ensured on the Nordic trails of Les 3 Vallées (Val Thorens, Les Menuires, Méribel, Courchevel).

In Méribel, the Nordic area opens its doors on December 6, allowing you to enjoy the winter season until April 17. Connected to Courchevel’s cross-country ski trails, the most adventurous skiers can take advantage of loops winding through forests and alpine pastures.
