Published on 24/01/2024 - Written by Marie
The 2023 Alpine World Ski Championships took place on two iconic slopes in the 3 Vallées ski area in the French Alps: L'Éclipse in Courchevel and Roc de Fer in Méribel. Why not take up the challenge during your next ski holiday?
A track closely linked to the sport's greatest events
The Roc de Fer may not be the most popular slope every season, but it's still one of the Alps' legendary downhill, giant slalom and slalom courses.
Used for women's events at the last World Championships, the Méribel piste was the playground for the best athletes at the 1992 Olympic Games in Albertville.
For the 2015 finals, the Roc de Fer was rejuvenated to better challenge the sports teams. Since then, the piste has been regularly used for the Women's Alpine Skiing World Cup.
