Three is the magic number
Three is the magic number. This may be something to do with Pythagoras or Del La Soul however it is not the reason why three is the magic number for us. Three is our magic number for lots of reasons and here they are.
3 Valleys
The biggest ski area in the world is the 3 Valleys. It has 600 km of piste which is served by 183 lifts. It is regarded as one of the best ski areas in the world. The name comes from the three valleys where the resorts and ski areas are located, Saint-Bon, Allues, and Belleville. The 3 Valleys is also home to the Alpine Action ski program.
3 Great Resorts
Meribel, Courchevel, and La Tania are all world-class ski resort houses in the 3 Valleys. Each resort has its own individual vibe and is famous for different reasons. There are lots of other resorts that help make up the area, such as La Tania where we also have chalets.
€3
This is the usual price for a demis of beer in most French bars in the Alps.
3 Planks
Many say that when raising a family the ultimate is to have one girl and one boy. I say that when on the mountain it is good to ride with an even ratio of skiers and boarders. 2 skis plus 1 board = 3 planks.
3 Years
It is the best age to start skiing.
3 Layers
I like to wear 3 layers when on the mountain. A good thermal base layer followed by a warm jumper or fleece, then a good quality windproof ski coat.
3 Meters
Any fresh powder is good but our favourite is a massive 3-meter dump. Although I am struggling to remember ever experiencing a 3-meter-deep powder day, but I bet it would be amazing.
3 Chalets in La Tania
Not quite true as we have 4, but one, the Chalet Toubkal can be booked as two separate chalets or as one.
