Ski Area Opening Day

Meribel is open for the winter!

Location
Meribel

Updated

Officially the first day of winter in Méribel, the lifts are all set to whir into action signalling the start of what we hope will be an epic ski season in the 3 Valleys!

Méribel is just waiting to be explored, so grab your skis and boards and come and join us.

As you ski through the day, you’ll spot a lively brass band on skis brightening up your descents. For a cheerful aperitif, head to the Bouquetin chairlift between 11:30 and 13:30, where you can enjoy Savoyard songs, accordion melodies, and tastings of local specialities offered by Adray Télébar and La Sitelle.

Afterwards, glide over to the Saulire chalet for tartiflette and desserts prepared by the chefs of Clos Bernard and La Folie Douce, accompanied by another burst of brass from 13:00 to 13:45.
Round off your day in Mottaret with mulled wine and more music from 16:30 to 18:00.
