Ski area Méribel

The cable car takes you from Brides les Bains up to the famous winter sports resort of Méribel (1,450 m) in the "Domaine Vallée de Méribel" ski area. The Méribel ski area adjoining Brides les Bains has 150 kilometres of its own pistes and 42 lifts. There are 48 blue pistes, 28 red pistes and 7 black pistes, offering a challenge for all skiing abilities. There are also two snow parks, including the Elements Park, which is divided into three areas, and 28 kilometres of untracked ski tours for snowboarders, freestylers and outback skiers. In 1992, the downhill races of the Olympic Games were held here, as evidenced by the "Compagnol", the longest downhill run in the area at 3.6 kilometres. For advanced skiers, the 1 km "Les Bosses" piste, which covers 350 metres in altitude and is considered one of the most difficult runs in the region, is still highly recommended. Méribel is also connected to the world-famous "Les 3 Vallées" ski region, which is one of the largest ski areas in the world with 600 kilometres of pistes (see ski region).

With the "Les 3 Vallées App", you can also find out about piste and ski lift openings/closings as well as the local weather at any time. Would you like to meet up for lunch at the hut? Use the app to share your location and see exactly where your friends and family are in the ski area. You also receive information and safety notifications directly on your smartphone and, in the event of an accident, the nearest emergency services can be alerted with just one click.
