Route 1 – Meribel Valley Blues Cruise
It’s your first day back on snow, you don’t want to ski anything too steep, and you want to ski in the sun all day.
Route 2 – Meribel to Courchevel Moriond
You are happy on red runs and want to avoid the busier areas.
Route 3 – Meribel to Val Thorens
You’ll usually find excellent snow in Val Thorens, but avoid the area on very cold or windy days.
Route 4 – La Tania & Tree Line Skiing
This circuit takes you from Méribel la Chaudanne into the La Tania ski area in the Courchevel sector of the Three Valleys. It is a good route for poor visibility days.
Route 5 - Les Menuires & the '4th Valley'
Starting from Méribel this route takes you across the Belleville Valley, through Les Menuires and into the ‘fourth’ valley of Orelle.
Route 6 – Courchevel Fast & Furious
An itinerary reserved for only the most competent skiers and snowboarders
Route 7 - Val Thorens to Courchevel
Courchevel and back in a day from Val Thorens is much easier (and quicker) than you might think. An intermediate skier ought to be able to get there in just over an hour on the most direct route, although you can branch out if you wish to make a day of it.
Route 8 - The Three Valleys Blue Runs Circuit
Our SeeMeribel.com snow reporter has gone to great lengths to plot a route that can be taken by a group of ‘plough/parallel' skiers with ease and will take you into each of the 3 Valleys. Although the itinerary begins and ends in Courchevel, it can be picked up from the point most convenient to where you're staying and followed in a circle.
Why intermediate skiers love Méribel
Méribel is an intermediate skier’s paradise and relative novices can visit every part of this stunning valley on gentle green and blue runs. Follow this day-long itinerary to find the best pistes and the most gorgeous views.
