Méribel
Descriptive
Discreet and elegant resort that makes the heart of the 3 Valleys beat, Méribel is a real paradise for skiers from all over the world. Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned skier, you must have skied at least once in your life the slopes of such a domain!
During the winter season, it’s easy to hop over to the other 3 Vallées resorts and ski in sun all day long from Méribel’s ski area. Finding your way around the largest fully connected ski area in the world (600km of ski runs) is quite easy. Méribel is in the centre, the Belleville valley (Val Thorens and Les Menuires) is in the south-west, while Courchevel-La Tania is in the north-east. Skiers of all levels
can benefit from the best snow conditions which vary with the season and time of day.
In the morning, lovers of long, challenging runs will choose Mont Vallon, with its sunny summit and two red slopes that are groomed overnight. La Saulire (see below) is also known for its thrilling runs and benefits from receiving the first morning rays of sun. Intermediate and beginner skiers opt for the eastern side of the area where the Yeti Park and Little Himalaya themed runs are found, or head to the Altiport which is in sun from 10am to 4pm, home to the Family Cool, Animal Trail and Inuit Trail fun areas.
You can switch from one side of the valley to the other simply by following the sun and enjoying a break for lunch on a beautiful restaurant terrace in the resort or on the slopes, such as at the new Maya Altitude with its view of Mont Blanc (see following pages). The runs on the west-facing Col de la Loze, La Saulire and Pas du Lac remains in shade in the morning so their snow retains its freshness until the early afternoon.
