Meribel Grand Opening

The winter season begins in Meribel

Location
Meribel-Mottaret

Time to get your kit out for another season on the slopes as the lifts in Meribel open for Winter 2019/20.

Meribel doesn't mess around with its season-opening celebrations and this year is no exception! There will be animations taking place throughout the day on the snow front in Meribel-Mottaret, starting with breakfast at the Tipi Village at La Grenouillère. Kids (and big kids!) will enjoy interacting with the new technologies on display, such as the latest generation holograms, digital mapping techniques and drones.

The highlight of the day, apart from the lifts opening obviously, will be the spectacular laser show in the evening performed by America's Got Talent finalists "The Light Balance". Since their success on TV they have taken this show around the world - and now they're in the Three Valleys!

Once the lasers dim, the party will carry on into the night with a DJ concert.
