There are easy green mountain bike trails in the Méribel Valley.

Les Cotilles

XC trail no.16 is accessed from the bus stop or car park at Méribel Altiport just above Méribel Village. It's 7.2km long with a 154m climb and 427 vertical descent. The trail takes you down through the trees and back into the centre of Méribel and the handy bike wash near La Chaudanne.

Lac du Tueda

XC trail no.12 starts at Mottaret tourist office and covers a 4.5km loop around the lake and back. It's pretty flat with just a 30m increase in height, so ideal for those who don't want to ride anything too strenuous.

The only green DH (Downhill trail no.10) is Bike Slope, which starts from the top of the Tougnete 1 gondola. It's 5.9km long and descends 500m. Along the trail you'll find a few small features such as whoops, berms and a few small wooden obstacles and north shore sections. 

There's a 'fun zone' in Mottaret where you can practise skills and on the Chaudanne in Méribel centre is a closed and fun pump track circuit.
