Events Les 3 Vallées – Val Thorens/​Les Menuires/​Méribel/​Courchevel

Continuing the tradition of end-of-year celebrations amid the snowflakes, the village resort of the 3 Valleys offers holiday guests a magical week in the mountains from December 21 to 28.
The village center will be lively with incredible ice sculptures over 2 meters high and a large multi-coloured dome set up for the occasion. The program includes shows under the stars, torchlit descents, fireworks, guided night tours, temporary bars, musical strolls, and more. A fun and unusual ice sculpture workshop is also available for families: under the guidance of professional sculptor Nicolas Gombert, children and their parents can create their own works of art. The magic
happens quickly!

Evenings of tasting with your feet in the snow to start the year off right: welcome to the 2nd edition
of the Winemakers’ Week in Les Menuires. Fruity, oaky, full-bodied, supple, vigorous... there’s something for every nose and palate! For this second edition, the diversity of our French vineyards can be felt, seen, studied, and tasted in a convivial atmosphere at altitude for an epicurean and enriching après-ski, meeting the men and women who bring the vine to life and live from it.

As a supportive resort, Les Menuires organises various events contributing to the funding of associations. Among them, the Trophée de l’Espoir, sponsored by David Douillet – double Olympic judo champion and quadruple world champion who has a piste named after him in Les Menuires. For 26 years, this event continues to unite participants from all walks of life for a day of activities, all-level sports, solidarity, and generosity. The goal: to raise funds for the Alliance Paralysie Cérébrale des Alpes (ALPYSIA). It serves to remind us of the perseverance and determination of those living with disabilities, to raise public awareness, and to promote inclusion.

For its 3rd edition, Completely at La Masse is not so crazy after all! With 190 participants last year, the event – organised by the Les Menuires Sports Club in collaboration with the resort's services – returns this winter, highlighting snow sports in the La Masse area, a must-see spot on the 3 Vallées circuit. Open to everyone, this full day of laughter, sport, camaraderie, and zany participants gathers competitors – whether sports licence holders or not – and holidaymakers looking for quirky activities. The morning is dedicated to self-challenge with a solo or duo descent, scattered with obstacles over 4.3 km with a 1000 m vertical drop. At the finish: the little racers win their weight in candy and adults in local beer, “Brava Vela.” The afternoon, even more fun, takes place at the Olympic Stadium and Croisette with a giant barbecue, sled race, water slide, and concert.

Morning yoga at an altitude of 2800 metres, day retreats with Nordic baths and saunas, après-ski, and meditative evenings in a mountain refuge with descents under the stars... to reach slow altitude from morning to night, join us for the 9th edition of Yogiski in Les Menuires and Saint-Martin-de-Belleville.
Experience introductions to Ayurveda, Tai Chi, naturopathy, candlelit Yin yoga, foot reflexology, sound baths, wellness and vegetarian meals... the many gentle experiences during this flagship wellness week awaken all the senses to achieve a positive attitude.

Following Lili Barbery last year, this year’s event will feature Caroline Perrineau, a yoga teacher known as "@theyoginist," as one of the ambassadors.

As winter ends, Saint-Martin-de- Belleville invites outdoor sports enthusiasts to glide down its sunny slopes both on skis and bicycles. DH track, enduro circuit, or e-MTB rides: the village resort opens a part of its mountain bike area as a preview. This offers a great alternative to classic spring skiing, allowing for varied sliding pleasures under the sun, accompanied by a festive end-of-season program.
