If you’re coming out to the Three Valleys for some Spring skiing and want to find out what’s on whilst you’re staying in Courchevel or Meribel, then there’s plenty of end-of-season parties, Easter treats and ski events as there’s plenty going on right up until the lifts close.

What makes Spring skiing so good?

When you ski in March and April, you can expect sunny days, beautiful sunsets over the mountains, lazy lunches on the slopes and lots of end of season events and parties!

The lifts in the Three Valleys close either 12th April (La Tania and Courchevel Moriond) or 17th April (Courchevel, Meribel) so during March and at Easter there’s plenty of high altitude skiing to be had, plus it’s a great value time to travel.
