The Meribel
lift pass underwent a long overdue transformation in 2005/6season.
The new ski pass is now 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.
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.
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 the weekend before Xmas
2007 and end 3rd Week April 2008
For 2007/8 lift pass prices: Click
here.
- 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 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.

- The 12-day variable lift pass.
This is a ski pass that can be used on any 12 individual
days throughout the whole season. This pass is very
handy if you just pop out to Meribel for a few odd
days on a regular basis.

- 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.
We recommend you purchase full holiday insurance also.
