The largest ski area in the world, Les 3 Vallees includes 7 resorts across 3 valleys in the French Alps.  Meribel sits in the heart of the famous Three Valleys (Courchevel, Meribel and Val Thorens), with easy access to all 3 valleys.  Les 3 Vallees boasts some of the best maintained runs, with guaranteed snow cover throughout the season.  With over 150 lifts, 334 marked slopes and thousands of acres of off-piste terrain there is plenty of skiing for skiers and boarders of all ability levels.  Traditional Alpine ambiance, lively apres ski and nightlife, amazing restaurants, and shopping will make our time off the slopes very exciting and enjoyable.

We will be staying at the Hotel L'Eterlou, in Meribel Centre, a short walk (~ 200 feet) from the lifts that take skiers into the central valley of Les 3 Vallees.   The L'Eterlou is a 3+ star family owned hotel which is centrally located, and close to shops, ski school, ice rink, restaurants and apres ski activities.  Rates include daily buffet breakfast and full dinner five of our seven nights.  The remaining two nights, we will be free to explore the many gourmet restaurants that are an easy stroll from the hotel.  

All rooms are equipped with a mini-bar, flat screen TV with satellite reception, safety deposit box, hairdryer, bathrobes and slippers.  The hotel has an outdoor wellness center featuring a heated pool, jacuzzi, and sauna.  

There is a limit of 3 single occupancy slots available on this trip.  In addition, a minimum of 3 members will be allowed to fly separately from the group.  

• Option 1:  Spend one night in Annecy at the Hotel Splendid, return to JFK on Sunday 3/14/27,  COST:  $3850 per person, double occupancy.  Annecy is a quaint small town in France, built in 950AD.  It is approximately 45 minutes from Geneva (our departing airport), and is frequently described as similar to Venice, but less touristy and more relaxing.  We will spend our last evening enjoying the town before departing for JFK the next day.  Breakfast is included, with dinner on our own.
• Option 2:  Spend three nights in Paris at the Hotel Belloy St Germain (4*), return to JFK on Tuesday 3/16/27,  COST:  $4200 Per Person, double occupancy.   Paris is...well, Paris!  We will be free to enjoy Paris as we see fit...from organized sightseeing, to nightlife, to just strolling along the banks of the River Seine.  Few cities can compete with the cafes, bars and restaurants that line every street and boulevard.  With the central location of the Hotel Belloy St Germain, the city's compactness makes Paris a very walk-able city.  Breakfast is included daily, with dinners and other activities on our own.

Since we will be traveling to Paris on a high speed train, we WILL NOT be able to bring our skis with us to Paris.  Members who select the Paris extension will either ship their skis home, or rent skis at Les 3 Vallees.  Information about both of those options will be provided as the date of the trip draws nearer.

PLEASE NOTE:  We have reserved a limited number of spots on the Paris extension.  If the Paris extension is full at the time that you register and you would like to go Paris, please reach out to Patti and/or Amy to let us know that you are interested in joining the Paris waiting list.  Depending upon airfares and how full the planes are, we may be able to adjust our numbers for Paris and Annecy to accommodate everyone's preferences.
