The 3 Valleys by Ski Lift – A Grand Panoramic Traverse
Discover the 3 Valleys in summer thanks to the ski lifts, for a gentle day of hiking in the heart of one of the most beautiful panoramas in the Alps. From Saint Martin de Belleville, you'll embark on an exceptional journey, with little to no effort, between verdant alpine pastures, legendary peaks, and refreshing mountain streams.
The day begins with a ride on the gondola and chairlift to the summit of Tougnette. From there, you'll enjoy a breathtaking view of Mont Blanc and the Méribel Valley. You'll then descend by chairlift to Méribel for a pleasant walk down to Mottaret.
The ascent continues by gondola to the summit of La Saulire, the highest point of the day. Up there, the view is spectacular: the Vanoise glaciers, the Aiguille du Fruit, and all the stark beauty of the high mountains unfold before you. You then cross over to the Courchevel side for a descent by cable car and gondola.
A picnic lunch provides a chance to recharge before heading back. The route then climbs back up towards La Saulire, descends to Mottaret, and then follows the Doron des Allues, a crystal-clear mountain stream, on foot to La Chaudanne. Finally, the ski lifts gently whisk you back down to Saint Martin in the late afternoon.
A beautiful alpine loop for exploring the world's largest ski area in a single day, discovering its history, landscapes, and summer secrets. A panoramic and accessible outing, perfect for mountain lovers, nature enthusiasts… and those who crave fresh air!
