Lift tickets (2008/09 prices)

Each area offers three lift-ticket combinations: one covers only the lifts in the resort area, the second covers lifts in the individual valley; and a third is a full Trois Vallées lift ticket.

Skiers who are staying for a week or more will want to purchase the Trois Vallées combination ticket. This combination ticket gives unlimited access to all the lifts and runs in the region (200 lifts; 600 km of pistes). It also entitles holders to a day in another Olympic resort—Val d’Isère, Tignes, La Plagne, Les Arcs, Peisey Vallandry, Pralognan la Vanoise and Les Saisies.

Hands Free Lift Ticket System: Les Trois Vallées is using chip cards for all ski passes that allow automatic access to lift facilities. Unlike other resorts, skiers will not be asked to pay a additional deposit and will not have to pay a small supplement on top of the daily cost. Keep the receipt that comes with the lift ticket in a separate place, since it will be the key to a replacement tickets should you lose the original. Keep your lift ticket in a safe place. The inner pocket on your left side is perfect. Beware: It is a light plastic card that can easily be forgotten or misplaced.
