Slopes, lifts and shuttles

Getting to the slopes: as you leave the building, the main piste, which runs through the centre of La Tania, is a few metres to your right. Put your skis on, then head for the gondola or the ski pass office.

Ski passes can be bought online on the official 3 Vallées website, or in person at the La Tania ski pass office.

Free shuttles run between the Courchevel villages: routes, timetables and the mobile app are on the Courchevel town hall shuttle page (automatic English translation).

The Les 3 Vallées app

Before you head out, have a look at the official Les 3 Vallées app. It is free and shows in real time:

• which lifts and pistes are open
• the pistes groomed overnight
• webcams and mountain restaurants
• technical incidents
• an alert when the links between the valleys are about to close because of wind, handy to avoid getting stuck on the wrong side
