Mountain
Beginner slopes start in town, and the whole of Les 3 Vallées connects from the same lifts.
Last lifts are mid-afternoon. Miss the link back over the ridge and you are looking at an expensive taxi round the valley — plan the last run before you take it.
Not skiing
Some people never planned to ski. Some twist a knee on Monday. Some simply need a day that starts after midday. There is a proper daytime programme for all three, running through the week — not a consolation prize.
Day-by-day activities and meeting points are coming soon.

- Lunch on the hill — shortlist coming soon.
- Dinner — shortlist coming soon.

FAQs
Which flights should I book?+
Your own — flights aren’t in the package. Aim to land on Saturday 9 January and fly home on Saturday 16 January; Geneva (GVA) is the likely airport.
What if I don’t ski?+
You are in good company — plenty of the group won't be on the mountain every day. The village is compact and pedestrian, a pedestrian lift pass gets you up to the terraces for lunch and après with everyone else, and there is tobogganing, a spa and snowshoeing on top of that.
How many days does the lift pass cover?+
Four days in a row, and rentals work the same way. You choose your first day when you register, so if you want a day off mid-week, plan it before or after your four.
Can I cancel?+
Lodging, the social package and the deposit are non-refundable, and every cancellation carries a €75 fee. Lift passes and rentals are refundable (minus the 4% card fee) until 10 December; after that, nothing comes back.
Full terms on SkiSyncCan I transfer my place?+
Yes, to someone who isn’t already booked, through SkiSync. It costs €75, rising to €225 on 20 December, and transfers close on 26 December. The new person may not get the same lodging rate.
