Les 3 Vallées Launches Brand New Press Website For Journalists And Content Creators

The world’s largest ski area, Les 3 Vallées, has launched a new website and online portal dedicated to journalists and content creators.
This site is designed to make things easier for journalists and influencers in the UK and includes a number of elements:
- Full digital press kit for Winter 25–26 (media angles, updates, stories)
- Media library with photos, logos, videos and fact sheets
- Press contacts and ambassador profiles with assets
- A space that will be updated regularly with all the latest news
Les 3 Vallées chose to put the press kit online, in a digital format, for a number of reasons, including:
- Accessibility: designed mobile first, the press kit can be accessed anywhere, anytime – even via a simple QR code.
- Practicality: every page provides the full text as a downloadable PDF, plus a direct link to a selection of HD visuals in our media library, where images can be resized instantly before downloading.
- Reactivity: quick and easy updates ensure the content is always up to date.
- International: available in English and French, with German coming soon, to serve its main markets more effectively.
- Visibility: improve online discoverability and ensure stronger presence in the age of AI-driven search.
- Dedicated space: a press hub that will continue to grow with new sections and resources over time.
- Modernity: offering the media a sleek, digital-first experience, aligned with today’s standards.
- Sustainability: reducing the use of paper by prioritising a digital format.
Melina Laymond, Head of Communications for Les 3 Vallées, said: “We had been thinking about moving to a 100% digital press kit for some time, and I’m extremely proud to see it finally come to life. This new tool perfectly reflects our ambition: to offer the media a practical, modern and easy-to-use platform where all the resources are just a click away. I’m confident it will meet the expectations of journalists and content creators, while showcasing the strength and dynamism of Les 3 Vallées all year round.”
The digital press kit is available in English and French – and soon in German.
