Three of the largest ski areas in the world – Les 3 Vallees, the Espace Killy and the Paradiski region have joined forces to offer one combined lift pass.
Stay in La Plagne, ski in Meribel
Alpine Legends lift pass
In an impressive feat of cross-resort cooperation, from this winter it will be possible to buy a single lift pass that covers an immense 1325km of pistes!
In total, it will be possible to access 1300 pistes, 391 ski lifts, as well as five glaciers, all located in the Tarentaise valley in the Savoie departement of France.
From Meribel to Val d’Isere
15-20% more expensive than existing passes
The 6-day lift pass will cost €340 – approximately £250.
To put that into context a 6 day pass for the coming season for Paradiski is €291 and €289 for Les 3 Vallees is €289. The Espace Killy pass price was €260 last winter.
Tignes
Questionable value
Apart from the convenience, it’s hard to see how the new lift ticket offers any real advantage over buying day passes.
A one day Les 3 Vallees pass is the most expensive at €59, while a day pass in Les Arcs is €57. Multiply that by six and you end up with a lift pass around the same price as the ‘Alpine Legends’ pass.
You won’t have to queue though and you will get to access superb resorts including Meribel, Courchevel, La Tania, Val Thorens, Les Menuires, La Plagne, Les Arcs, Vallandry, Peisey, Tignes and Val d’Isere.
