3 Valleys Opening date
Does anyone know where I can find out what dates the lifts which connect
Meribel/Mottaret to Courcheval and Val Thorens open? This year they opened on 12th December, and I was told that this was 1 week earlier than usual. Can anyone confirm if this is correct. (We had a very good weeks skiing 13-18 December.) -- Michael Chare |

I think they just open as soon as there's enough snow, although clearly not before teh main areas aer themselves open :-) (We had a very good weeks skiing 13-18 December.) Cool. It's been pretty good in Switzerland too, from the end of November onwards. Regular moderate snowfalls rather than big dumps, for the most part, with only one spell, IIRC, of above-zero temperatures since that time. That's in Engelberg, but I think is typical of other resorts in mid-Switzerland. -- Ace Ski Club of Great Britain http://www.skiclub.co.uk/ All opinions expressed are those of the poster and in no way reflect those of the Ski Club or its members |

I was there between 13th and 20th December and had always expected the link lifts to be open (snow permitting!). They also were when I last went to the 3-Valleys before Xmas 4 years ago on about these dates. (Quite) a few other lifts (incuding Mt Vallon) were not open that week. |

The last but one time I went to Val Thorens (just before Christmas) the links out weren't yet open, although VT itself was reasonably well covered.. -- Colin Irvine |
