Skiing & Boarding in Meribel
The Méribel Valley is in the middle of the three roughly parallel, North/South valleys, making it the idea base for exploring the whole 3 Valleys ski area. Around the Altiport you’ll find gentle, tree-lined runs ideal for beginners. Higher up on the Saulire are steeper blues and reds which allow mixed-ability groups to ski in the same area. Take a look at our inside information on where to find the best Beginner Areas, the Best Piste Runs, challenging pistes for Advanced Skiers, the best Off-Piste Skiing, the Snowparks, and importantly, the Best Lunch & Sun Spots! We've also compiled some information on Cross-Country Skiing in the valley, and Handiski - skiing for the disabled. And, just in case, there is a section on where to ski on Bad Weather Days.
Avalanches, Mountain Safety & Awareness
The mountains provide a spectacular playground for skiers, climbers, mountaineers, yet their beauty can also be deadly. High mountain terrain can be subject to extreme weather conditions, rock falls and avalanches. You should always take note of safety warnings and we always recommend you hire a mountain guide when heading into high mountain terrain. Be aware and be safe!
