Ski Lifts/Areas & Skipass Offices in Meribel

Méribel is part of the Three Valleys, the world's largest ski area with more than 650km of pistes spread over three main resorts: Méribel, Courchevel and Val Thorens. This ensures that buying a Méribel lift pass is money well spent!

To start with, be aware there are two main types of ski pass to choose from:

• Méribel Valley pass - the cheaper, local ski pass, offering access to 150km of pistes; suitable for beginners.
• Three Valleys pass - whole area pass, offering access to a whopping 650km of pistes in from Courchevel all the way across to Val Thorens.

In our experience, most people visiting Méribel stay for a week, which means that six-day ski passes are the top choice among skiers and snowboarders who want to enjoy our mountain playground.

The next tricky thing is that in the Méribel valley, you need to buy your Mottaret ski passes differently than if you're staying in the rest of the Méribel Valley. It's a different lift-company and they haven't created a unified website for lift-passes based on where you're staying, yet....! All the passes are the same coverage, but based on your accommodation you buy them from a different website (and pick them up or deal with any issues from the relevant lift company).

Mottaret, aka Méribel-Mottaret, is a contained resort higher up the valley than Méribel main resort.
