Access, Parking Les 3 Vallées – Val Thorens/​Les Menuires/​Méribel/​Courchevel

The villages of Les 3 Vallées are accessed in different ways. Orelle is only a few minutes drive from the A43 (L'Autoroute de la Maurienne) and is very easy to access. To get to the valleys (Courchevel, Méribel and Les Menuires/Val Thorens) themselves, you follow the L'Autoroute to the end at Albertville and then take the highway towards Tarentaise and Moutiers. After this, you'll need to take a curvy mountain road up to your destination at 1800 m elevation. There is parking in the villages and at the slopes with everything from parking garages and paved parking lots to simple gravel lots - some are free of charge and some charge a fee for parking. There is also an airport for arrivals by private jet and helicopter shuttle.
