    The largest linked ski area in the world on your doorstep

    Set in the heart of the Three Valleys, Meribel and Mottaret combine traditional charm with state-of-the-art skiing. High-tech chairlifts and gondolas provide immediate access to Saulire, gateway to the glorious ski area of Courchevel and to the ridge above Les Menuires and Val Thorens. The range of skiing is phenomenal - easy or testing, open slopes or wooded, long schusses or tight couloirs - whatever you enjoy, the choice is yours. A free ski bus runs between Meribel and Mottaret every half hour (9am-8pm) and every hour 8pm-midnight.

    Ski information

    Beginners

    Beginners are well served by many gentle slopes and relaxing runs through the pine trees, including those by the Altiport and Rond Point des Pistes.

    Intermediates

    Intermediate skiers will rejoice in the vast amount of long red runs, ideal for improving your skiing. The Pic Noir runs from the Col de la Loze, descending through the trees or try the excellent 5km red run down the Combe du Vallon.

    Advanced

    Competent skiers will relish the off-piste challenges, powder snow, glacier skiing and steep descents through the trees. Mogul bashers should try the famous 'Les Bosses' black run, while off-piste enthusiasts can enjoy the Mt. Vallon face above Mottaret. Add to this the fast Women's Olympic Downhill run on La Face, and Meribel really has something for everyone.
