22 March 2024 Congratulations to Greg We were coming out for a long weekend and I started looking into the possibility of doing the Escapade in a day. The forecast wasn’t great on Saturday or Sunday so it had to be day one! I noticed on Thursday that both Verdet and Ours were shut so that was two extra lifts added to the plan! Heather and I were outside Legends at 8:55 however when we got to Olympic they said it was delayed due to the pisteurs not back from checking the Face piste. We waited 10 mins for it to open! It was forecast to be very warm and sure enough by the time we got to Bettex th ..read more

05 April 2024 Congratulations to Zen & Taiji We started in Courchevel 1550 and it was me (Zen Okada, 15) and my dad (Taiji Okada, 51).  Piste closures made it tough, especially the run from Mont Vallon to Mottaret (Ours) being closed and the Fôret lift being shut. We just about beat the slush to finish with ten minutes to spare! Zen ..read more

First lifts and first tracks also gives you the chance to spot the local wildlife! Plenty of people disrespect the Black Grouse breeding area fences below Lanches chairlift so really nice to spot this gorgeous looking bird this morning. The tail feathers used to be worn by Scottish regiments to denote rank. We also spotted a fox (or was it a Wolf?) strolling around here first thing a few weeks ago. Marmotte spotting has been pretty quiet so far this season but there’s always at least one in April near the chairlift of the same name – a good place to start looking along with under the St Mart ..read more

14 March 2024 Congratulations to David and Charles David and Charles Nops, father and son,  completed their fourth successful Escapade together on Thursday 14th March 2024. First lift start from Courchevel 1650. Completion was done despite significant queues at the major lifts at Le Masse and Val Thorens, also a serious accident in the 4th valley involving the chairlift being stopped for a helicopter rescue. 3rd photograph taken from one of the highest points in the route – Cime run coming back from Orelle.  Many thanks, Jenny.

Even during the school holidays there were some bargain flights to be had when avoiding weekends and if you can get in to Lyon early enough there’s a cheap direct train to Moûtiers that connects with the bus service up to La Tania. But we missed the train, had to pay again, go later and longer – another reason to use one of our recommended Private and Shared Transfer Companies to La Tania. And yes, we had no bags, weren’t in a rush, didn’t care where we sat and certainly had no kids in tow but it would take something to beat these prices.

11 March 2024 Congratulations to Lisa & Mark Bonjour!  2020 I was doing a season in La Tania and I heard about the Escapade. I planned to do it in March, but Covid put a stop to that. 4 years later I have finally come back and was determined to complete this time with my brother, Mark.  We got the first lift out of it VT, with blue skies and freshly pisted slopes awaiting us. We took a few deviations of the current planned route, to include the 2 peaks Mont de la Challe and 3 Marches. We were very lucky with the lifts, as there were very few queues.  The weather turned in t ..read more

7 March 2024 Congratulations to Nick, Rory & Rupert Having followed L’escapade adventures for many years, today I finally completed it with two others. Rory, Rupert and myself completed it despite the horrendous queues in Les Menuires. It took 7hrs 53 minutes, in blue bird conditions. We started in St Martin de Belleville, great fun. The website is great, keep up the good work. Best wishes, Nick ESCAPADE 2024 – What’s this all about… The 3 Valleys Escapade was the lift company promotion of visiting (originally in 2006) 14 points across the Three Valleys and gaining a certificate & b ..read more

5 March 2024 Congratulations to Steve After seeing many people complete the challenge, and having skied 3 valleys many times, I thought it was time to have a go (leaving the rest of our group for the day). Started off in mainly sunny weather, and was making good time. But then the visibility dropped and the cloud came in just as I was leaving VT at 1330. Mont Vallon was a unique experience with zero visibility. Tomorrow should be a good powder day after the heavy snow at the end of today Got to Forêt at 16:17, then headed back to La Tania to get a deserved beer. No deviations from suggested r ..read more

28 February 2024 Congratulations to Jacopo & Paolo Paolo and I, 23 and 24 years old from Italy, completed the Escapade on the 28th of February. We started from Val Thorens (departure of Pionniers chairlift) at 9 a.m. and it took us 7 hours and 23 minutes. Low visibility in the morning but opened up in the afternoon. We had lunch on a chairlift to minimise time and kept the Orelle Valley until last so that we were free to decide whether to finish the Escapade or quit (in case it got too late). Lastly, at around 4.10 p.m., we took the Funitel Péclet to hit the final checkpoint and we retu ..read more
