Meribel Information

Below is an outline of practical information to take with you on your ski holiday. From transport to lift passes, this useful information is well worth taking with you as it could make your lift slightly easier when arriving in Meribel ski resort. Failing that, your chalet host will no doubt be able to fill you in on any other information should you need it when you arrive:

 

Lifts

You buy a reduced rate lift pass from the 5-11th December but the amount of lifts open will depend on the level of snow fall.  The ski lifts officially open on the 18th December.  Then from the 17-25th April you can again buy a reduced rate lift pass and then the ski lifts will close for the season on the 25th.
