France
Gateway: Geneva/Lyon
Meribel is a special case among big French resorts: it is a modern and well-equipped resort which has kept the charm of an old village in Savoy. The most recent buildings respect the rules of the traditional architecture perfectly fitted to the landscape. In the heart of the marvelous skiing area of the "Trois Vallees", perfect for the pleasure of people keen on sport and beauty, Meribel is a harmonious resort for skiing with the sun all day long. Your "Trois Vallees" ski pass allows you to ski Courchevel, Les Menuires,Val Thorens and La Tania in addition to Meribel. There are trails for all abilities from wide, gentle well-groomed slopes for the beginners, to steep trails with moguls to challenge the experts. The extensive snow making system guarantees good snow on major trails leading to the resort. For off-trail skiing, we recommend a guide who will take you to untouched slopes to ski your heart out. Cross country skiing is also popular in the 3 Vallees Region. A special 6-day nonskier pass including cable cards, gondolas and shuttle bus between Meribel, Courchevel and Brides Les Bains (featuring a casino) is a great feature allowing nonskiers to fully enjoy this beautiful region.
