The Meribel lift pass underwent a long overdue transformation in 2005/6season. Since then the ski pass has been electronic so photos are no longer necessary. Meribel's tour /chalet operators can now purchase your lift pass well in advance and have it ready for you immediately on arrival in resort. The Meribel lift company is Meribel Alpina, and it still offers a wide choice of ski pass
options, including family ticket, children's pass and OAP lift pass with discount. We adise paying a few euros extra and buying the rechargable lift pass. This means you can update from Meribel only to the full ski area pass on a daily basis. Also next time you come to Meribel you can re charge your pass on line.
Please note: Where a discount is available due to age factors then ID/proof is required.
Also remember that with a 6 day pass or more (3 Valley), you may also ski one day in any of the other 1992 French Olympic ski resorts as a special price.
La Plagne and Les Arcs for example are only a short distance away by shared Taxi or just minutes by Helicopter Transfer.
- Meribel & 3 Valley lift pass:
Normal ski season prices start at XMAS week 2008 and end 3rd Week April 2009

- Early season discounted lift pass:
Before Xmas the ski pass for Meribel is heavily discounted. The resort normally opens in Mottaret, (with links to the 3 Valleys) during the
1 st or 2nd weekend of December. During this period ski lift operations in the Meribel ski area are limited to the main connections between Mottaret and Courchevel plus a few chairlifts. Because of the lack of tourists at this time skiing can be surprisingly good even with limited piste. In fact some our best ever piste cruising has been during this period.

- Late season discount lift passes.
After 3rd weekend of April the ski pass is also cheaper. The resort normally closes the last weekend of April. For the past few seasons April skiing has been fantastic. It cannot be guaranteed but it is well worth keeping a close eye on the snow & weather reports for the last two weeks of the season.

- Meribel Valley lift pass extension:
This lift pass extension allows Méribel's skiers or snowboarders to ski/board the whole 3 valley ski area for one day.
To extend your Meribel valley ski pass to a 3 valley ticket it is necessary to have a minimum 2-day Meribel Valley pass. This is a perfect solution for beginner skiers or snowboarders.
Within a week you will often become good enough to leave Meribel and start exploring the 3 valleys area.
Our advice for beginners is to choose just the Meribel Valley pass then add the 3 valley lift extension if necessary.
Note: In order to add a 3 valley extension your lift pass must be the re-chargable type.

- Ski Insurance:
Basic ski accident insurance can be purchased with your ski pass: Note that it covers ski & snowboard accidents only. Be very sure to read the conditions and financial limitations, approx 3000 euros maximum.
We recommend you purchase full holiday insurance also.
