Uncertain which pass to go for? Here are the facts:

In Meribel there is the choice of 2 liftpass types, the Three Valley (3V) liftpass or Meribel Valley (MV).

The 3V pass gives you unlimited access to the world’s most extensive ski area with 600km of groomed runs, 44 green runs,129 blue, 108 red, 30 black runs, with 174 lifts.

The MV pass gives you access to 150km of groomed runs, 9 green runs, 34 blue, 23 red, 7 black,with 50 lifts.

There are 2 superb, well maintained and extensive snowboarding parks in the Meribel Valley and 7 in total in the Three Valleys.

The price difference between the Meribel Valley and Three Valley pass is 18.5% (based on a 6 day adult pass).
For the extra cost you get a huge amount of additional skiing, and it allows you complete freedom to discover the whole of the Three Valleys.

Prices for Dec 2024-Apr 2025: Prices list for 6 days + but we can organise any duration just email us.

The family pass is available to 2 parents with 1 child or more.
You can add more children up to a maximum of 6 children. This applies to children between the ages 5-17 years inclusive. Every family member (adults & children) benefit from paying the child rate.

If you purchase a MV pass you can upgrade to a 3V pass, but please bear in mind if you upgrade for more than 1 day then, it is more cost effective to buy a 3V pass from the outset. MV to 3V extension = 48€ per day (adult)

If you are unsure which liftpass to select then if you have a weeks skiing/boarding experience or more, we would recommend the full 3 valley pass.

For complete beginners there is a mini pass you can buy on a daily basis at 37.00€, this will give you access to a beginner circuit in the Meribel valley.

The Meribel/3 Valley ski area operates with a Hands Free Pass, NO PHOTO REQUIRED.

For Under 5's, the pass is FREE, on collection of the free pass a photo is required (can be scanned from your phone) & passport for proof of Date of birth.

What is Carre Neige insurance and do I need it?
We can add Carre Neige insurance, as an additional cover to your travel insurance.
It covers your emergency transportation off the mountain should you have an accident and be unable to ski/board down, & saves you reclaiming the cost from your travel insurance.
Full details can be found here:Carre Neige Insurance It costs 3.30€ per day, 19.30€ for 6 days.
If you want additional cover, please email us and we will add it for you.

SKIING OFF PISTE & SKI TOURING IN THE THREE VALLEYS WITH A GUIDE

Use an experienced qualified guide that can provide you with the safety equipment you will need.
Iain Macluskie (Scottish) is a fully qualified ESF ski instructor his knowledge of the area is supreme and he has a passion for ski touring during his free time. He is very much a part of the local community. To make a reservation contact: [email protected] Tel: +33 (0) 681 06 93 12

The Three Valleys has such varied terrain that there is always something really interesting outside the boundary of the Ski resort.

From glaciers and high Alps down to meadows and woodlands and even delightful descents to the charming villages and hamlets.

The peaks reached by cable car or chair lift are over 3000m. Three Valleys become 6 Valleys when you spend some time with a Guide. There is nothing better than an early start too ensure you are the fist skiers at 3300m, followed by a snowy adventure ending in an Alpine Village at 1000m that just happens to have a great little restaurant.

With the arrival of the wider and 'rockered' skis the off piste has become far more accessible to more skiers. Snowboarders have always had the right equipment for the softer snow you generally find further afield.

Ski Touring lifts the whole experience to another level. Its highly fashionable at the moment as it can be a fantastic work out. The reality is more a gentle walk that quickly shows you the natural side of the mountain. The animal tracks become interesting as you mimic their routes up the hill.

Most of the guides will use the ski lifts strategically to then walk for say 45 mins to an hour. This will get you to beautiful areas of the 3 Valleys and do not be surprised with some very close encounters with the wildlife. Regular skiers to the 3 Valleys are always astonished when they get away from the ski slopes and start to explore the surrounding Valleys.

Have a close look at the options available with The Bureau De Guides, Meribel. As we highly recommend using a guide with safety equipment.

Combine your chalet holiday stay with us in Meribel . It will certainly change your holidays and likely to change the rest of your visits to the French Alps.

The Ski & Boot lockers are really handy to have.
They are located at the top of the bubble station that you take from Les Allues to La Chaudanne (the main Meribel lift station, where all the lifts depart from and connect to the 3 valleys.)

Each locker has a ventilated drying rack for your boots and comfortably holds 3 sets of skis/boards.

They are both reasonably priced and practical.
You can change as soon as you finish skiing and continue your après ski in comfortable shoes.
You may want to wander round Meribel centre, go to the lively après ski bars, check out the selection of shops, or relax at the Olypmic centre where they have swimming pool, spa facilities, ice skating, bowling & climbing wall.
Or simply drop your kit off at the lockers, so you never have to carry it during the week.

Ski Blanc reserves the ski lockers for all our guests in advance.

We check with you on arrival at the chalet, how many your require.
There is no obligation to take them and we cancel the ones that aren’t used.
Parents with 2 small children will be able to squeeze into one.

If you do know how many you require, just advise us on our online booking form.
