6 Must-Ski Destinations for Ikon and Epic Pass Holders Around the World | Condé Nast Traveler

"Skiing here feels grand and slightly outrageous, with more than 370 miles of interconnected runs making up the world’s largest interconnected ski area, spread across Val Thorens, Méribel, and Courchevel. Val Thorens offers high-altitude, above-treeline laps and dependable snow, Méribel anchors the middle with beautifully groomed cruisers and tree-lined runs, and Courchevel adds everything from wide motorway pistes to steeper, more technical faces. High-speed lifts, intuitive connections, and varied elevations make it easy to move naturally between valleys and keep options open in different weather, so the sheer scale works in practice rather than feeling overwhelming." - Bailey Berg
