MéribelFrance
The area consists of several lift connected locations: Méribel Centre, Méribel Mottaret, Méribel Village, Les Allues and Bride Les Bains. It doesn’t have a reputation for FreeRide but in truth there are almost limitless opportunities if avalanche conditions allow, from steep couloirs to wide open powder fields and a world of easily accessible side and slack country. It’s an area ripe for exploration, on a powder day you’ll be spoilt for options. What’s more you’re right at the heart of Les 3 Vallées. To the east is Courchevel and to the south is Val Thorens, impressive FreeRide locations in their own right.

FreeRide is most commonly associated with adrenaline fuelled thrill seeking, but after a hard day keeping the shred alive there’s nothing like a little peace and tranquillity to complete your day. Look no further than the Bench of Eternal Tranquillity in Meribel. There is no better place to soak up the last ra...

Energy harvested during lift operating hours is use...
