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 at 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.

Early season discounted lift pass:
Before Xmas the ski pass for Meribel is heavily discounted. The resort normally opens (with links to the 3 Valleys) about the
1st 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.Last season 2012 the snow after 7th Dec was fantastic. Best for 25 years!

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. Good snow conditions cannot be absolutely guaranteed but it is well worth keeping a close eye on the snow & weather reports for the last two weeks of the season. April can sometimes bring large new dumps of snow. We once has 1 meter new snow overnight in the last week of the season. All restaurant tables and chairs were completely buried! So you just never know.

Meribel lift pass for beginners:
Absolute beginners should buy just the Meribel Alpina ski pass or even consider the Meribel Alpina Mini Ski Pass. The Meribel Alpina ski pass entitles you to ski on all Meribel Alpina lifts. Note that these do not extend to Mottaret.
The Mini ski pass is a more restricted low cost lift pass purchased by the day.
Note there is also a free beginner's lift situated at these ski areas. Meribel Altiport, Meribel Rond Point and Mottaret Chatelet.

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 rechargeable type.

Ski Insurance:
Basic ski accident insurance can be purchased with your Meribel lift pass: Note that it covers ski & snowboard accidents only. Be very sure to read the conditions and financial limitations, approx 3000 euros maximum. (not enough I assure you) . It is great to get you off the mountain, and home if necessary without paying up front.
But we recommend you purchase full holiday insurance also.
