Well, been coming to 3V, in particular Les Menuires, for some time now (approx 7 yrs). Over that time i've seen many new apartments and chalets going up. Some of them are rather nice accomm. The downside, however, is that they have not invested in lift system out of town to the same extent. The result being that during the main holiday periods you can waste a good hour getting out of town to a 3V liaison point, which used to be done in about 15 mins. All well and good except on a powder day. Can be rather frustrating particularly with the infamous French approach to queues. That said, once you're up and away its 3V which is a massive and great area with superb terrain on and off-piste.
