since my first trip there, the currency nearly tripled, overall price over in europe more than doubled so the trips out there is getting way out of affordability for me. but, you can alway time it well.
les trois vallee has i think more than 6 or 7 resorts so you need to choose wisely based on time of your trip, price, base elevation, etc. IIRC, val thorens and courchevel 1850 are nicer to stay but steep in price. other resorts are much more economical. during my second trip we stayed at courchevel 1850 and it was very nice and convenient, but pricy. they normally have 1 week packages.
you can fly into Geneva, which i think is the easiest. i flew into Paris > took the TGV to lyon > Moutier > bus to base of Courchevel, which is a day trip.
if you do head out there, you also want to do some research on off-piste skiing. check out couple of guides take you around. summit at Val Thorens is at 3200meters, which is over 10K feet and its glacier so if you don't know where you are going, you can really be in trouble.
