Description
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.
During the summer season, Méribel is a haven of peace and health and the perfect jumping-off point for exploring the mountains. Come and discover all the different holidays it offers. For a calm and restful stay, make your way through forests and villages in search of one of the rare and beautiful places only found in the mountains. Or embrace Nature, here protected by the Vanoise Nature Park, as are the golden eagles, black grouse and ptarmigan. Or come for an active and sporting holiday: cycle the switchbacks up to the Loze pass, play golf on the Altiport course, shoulder a backpack carrying crampons and discover the Gebroulaz glacier during the Fanfoué festival. A holiday in Méribel is always refreshing - like the Alpine waters of its fountains - and restores our reserves of health, joy and well-being.
