The ski area of Meribel is part of the famous Three Valleys ski area, the largest ski area in the world (linked by ski lifts and slopes). The great variety of slopes means that all skiers and snowboarders, whether beginners or experts, get a maximum amount of pleasure out of skiing here! The resort is equipped with modern ski lifts and generally has excellent snow conditions thanks to its high altitude (85% of the slopes are above 1800 m) as well as the high quality equipment for producing artificial snow when needed. From Meribel, you have quick easy access via one ski lift to the Three Valleys ski area where you can practice snowboarding, free riding, snowcross, mogul skiing, etc.
