maps of the area so I can start planning my skiing. |

There's an incredibly useful .pdf pistemap to download from http://www.les3vallees.com/uk/012_plan.html A little picture of it opens in a separate window and you download from there. Once you've got it trapped in your PC you can enlarge it big enough to actually read all the names and symbols, or reduce it for wider planning. Why doesn't every resort do this? -- Sue ];( |

They'll send you tonns of stuff, mostly including a piste map. Have fun. Marinus http://www.meribel.net/camera/fullsize.jpg More about Meribel at: http://snow.jeuring.com |

Hi Murray, as a general resource www.skimaps.com have loads of maps of most ski resorts - well worth a look wherever you're going. Specifically you might try the new 3D map from www.mountmaps.com - it's £3.50 incl p+p so have a word with Santa. -- Paul Schofield Time flies like an arrow Fruit flies like a banana |

I had a look at the site and the (small) jpeg of the 3V map just looked like an ordinary map badly folded in 3 with an inconvenient extra bit tacked on one end. I would be interested to hear more from anyone who's actually got one. A cool idea would probably be a dynamic, 3d thing for a palmtop or mobile phone. I find that most of the time I am only looking at a small area of the map and scrolling around on a small screen would work fine. |

I lost the original post but there is actually a much better option than
plain old PDFs on the meribel web site: http://www.meribel.net/img/plans/meribel.swf A lot of places do these interactive things now so you should always try the resort site. I think they are especially useful for beginners because you can just show all the green runs say without the extra stuff that a beginner isn't interested in. Nick |

I know what you mean, I'd also like to hear from someone who's got a 3D map. I can't imagine it would be that useful on the pistes, but the OP was intending to plan his skiing in advance so it would be quite useful for that. -- Paul Schofield Time flies like an arrow Fruit flies like a banana |
