Find a sector and a lift
The approximate resort-centre markers help you orient yourself: Courchevel is at the upper right, Méribel nearer the middle, Les Menuires below it, Val Thorens farther south and Plan Bouchet on the Orelle side. Search the map for named lifts such as Saulire, Tougnète 2 and Cime Caron. These are reference points, not a recommended route between sectors.
Green, blue, red and black lines show mapped piste difficulty; solid yellow lines show lifts and dashed purple lines mark mapped off-piste routes. Try searching Cime Caron, select the matching lift, then zoom in to read nearby run names; this helps you identify a sector, not plan a safe connection. On HTTPS, you can choose to show your approximate position. Compare actual connections with the linked official piste plan.
For the Les Menuires sector, search the exact mapped name Menuires (piste 60) or the Mont de la Chambre lift. Select a matching result to centre it on the map, then zoom in to inspect the surrounding mapped lines. These examples are searchable map labels, not recommended routes or a guarantee that a line will appear in every view.
Check what this map cannot tell you
The drawing shows approximate geographic positions, not snow conditions, operating lifts or today's closures. Some pistes, names or connections may be missing or out of date. Resort-centre markers are orientation aids, not navigation waypoints.
For today's operations, check the resort's official opening information and follow signs and staff on the mountain. Do not plan a cross-valley return from this overview alone.
Take the map with you
On iPhone or Android, find the area in Mountainmapper and check that the pistes and lifts you need are present. Download the relevant offline area over Wi-Fi before leaving; if your journey crosses areas, confirm each necessary download.
A saved map is not the same as navigation ready to start. Route guidance requires restriction information refreshed within the last 24 hours. Test your intended route while connected; a calculated route is never a safety guarantee.
Map data and limits
This original overview was drawn from the OpenSkiMap-derived pistes and lifts dataset already used in the Mountainmapper three-valleys web experiment. It does not reproduce an official resort map. Data coverage and line geometry have not been verified on the ground for this page; do not rely on it to determine access or safety.
Can you cross the valleys on green pistes only?
A linked ski area does not guarantee a green-only journey between every pair of places. Our UCPA Val Thorens–Courchevel reference test found no route under the green limit, while allowing blue pistes returned five lift rides. Read the linked calculation example for the reference points, method and limits; it is not a recommendation to ski above your ability.
Which map should you use for the return journey?
The official Les 3 Vallées map page offers the domain plan and separate resort plans. Use those with the opening report and local lift closing times. This overview helps locate names; the app can calculate supported routes after preparation, but neither a line nor a successful calculation guarantees an open return connection.
FAQ
Why can a green-only journey fail in Les 3 Vallées?
Your complete route must stay within the chosen difficulty. Our UCPA–Courchevel reference test failed with green-only and returned a connection with blue allowed; see the linked case for its scope.
Is this the official live piste map?
No. This is an independent snapshot for searching mapped pistes and lifts. Use the official links for the resort plan and current openings.
Can I use this page to navigate offline?
This web page is an overview, not offline route guidance. Prepare the required maps and routing data in the Mountainmapper app, then test your journey while connected.
What do the purple dashed lines mean?
They represent mapped off-piste traces. Their presence is not a recommendation, permission or evidence of safe access.
