Novice skiers and snowboarders:

For beginners, January is a great time to try out the joys of skiing for the first time. After the festivities of December, the slopes are quieter and the atmosphere more relaxed.

With its many green and blue runs, Méribel is an ideal place for beginners and children to learn.  And while you’re enjoying the peace and quiet of January, the many ski schools are on hand to teach you the best techniques in all the skiing disciplines.

But the 3 Vallées ski area isn’t just for experienced skiers! In fact, half the slopes – 150 in all – are classified as green or blue runs, ideal for beginners to skiing or snowboarding.

EASY SKIING IN LES 3 VALLÉES

For experts:

With its iconic slopes, vast off-piste area and challenging ski areas, Méribel, like Les 3 Vallées, offers challenges worthy of the best skiers and snowboarders!

In Méribel in particular, take on the now legendary Combe du Vallon descent, a relatively demanding and often bumpy 3km slope… But will you dare to take on THE slope of champions? This run is almost 2.5km long, known as “le Roc de Fer”….

As a freeride skier, explore the vast network of lifts to ski down snow-covered, ungroomed valleys. The Couloirs de la Saulire attract the attention of all powder lovers. Similarly, the great descent of La Rosière, with its 1,000 metre vertical drop near the Tuéda Nature Reserve, offers an exceptional experience. All in all, whether you’re looking for off-piste skiing adventures with friends or group outings, the possibilities are endless!

And for freestyle fans, what could be better than the Snow Park at Méribel-Mottaret?
