Skiing in the Three Valleys can be difficult for families - piste-side chalets in Meribel and Courchevel are prohibitively expensive and other chalets don't offer the convenience that makes such a difference to a family skiing holiday. Prices in the other valleys are generally higher too. We have been in Reberty for 10 years because it offers the best way for families to enjoy this fantastic ski area at reasonable cost without sacrificing comfort and certainly there is no more convenient location than Reberty.

The Three Valleys is an outstanding ski area combining excellent snow quality and
magnificent skiing for all levels. Our ski chalets in Reberty village are ideally situated
at a snow-sure 2,000m; on the edge of a blue piste with commanding views across
the valley.
Reberty village is a recent, attractive village of wooden ski chalets tucked away between
Les Menuires and Val Thorens in the Vallée de Belleville and enjoys some
of the best snow conditions in France. The village is great for families skiing with children (though we do not recommend it for very young children as it is at 2,000m). It has
an excellent bar/restaurant, La Ferme, where Ben, Sophie, Eric and their team have
created a great atmosphere and fantastic menu. There is a small supermarket 100m
away from the chalets and first class access to the slopes and lifts.
Our Reberty chalets are either ski-in/ski-out and just a few metres from the piste and offer access to over 600kms of pistes, 200 ski lifts and 25 peaks. Val Thorens is just a couple of lifts above our chalets in Reberty and sitting at 2,300m is the highest resort in Europe. Access to the valleys of Meribel and Courchevel is also
easy, and there are many restaurants and bars on the slopes in all three valleys.
Orelle, the ‘fourth’ valley, is over the col to the South and offers
plenty of superb off-piste skiing.
The Three Valleys will delight all skiers and especially families, combining, the
pleasure and ease of skiing with children in a well groomed ski area with average or difficult
routes around the peaks.
For experts with a taste for adventure the area offers some of the best off-piste
itineries available anywhere in Europe: there is also a snowpark for boarders and
skiers and with one of the most modern lift systems in Europe the area prides itself
on having virtually no lift queues, even during the school holidays.
At the top of the Cime de Caron, (3195m), just three lifts above our ski chalets, you
can ski over the back into the Orelle valley. Alternatively, from the top there
are various runs descending back down to Val Thorens, or down to Les Menuires (1815m).
From Les Menuires it is possible to ski all the way down to the picturesque village
of Saint Martin de Belleville (1400m).
For the non-skier Reberty is perhaps our most convenient resort. There are several
shops, restaurants and bars in Les Menuires which is easily accessed by a free bus
servce which runs several times each hour. Les Menuires also has a modern leisure
complex with swimming pool, saunas, hammam, Jacuzzis and solarium. The village of
Bruyères is also just a short bus journey down the mountain and in addition
to the local shops, cafes and restaurants the village has a cinema and ice rink.
