Situated at an altitude of 1450 metres, the resort of Méribel is a veritable paradise for lovers of both groomed and off-piste skiing. Away from the beaten track, a variety of playgrounds await freeride, ski touring and freerando enthusiasts. Among these virgin slopes are a few secret treasures that you'll want to discover when you come to the 3 Vallées.

Want to get away from the crowds during your next stay in Méribel? Why not try off-piste skiing? The resort, at the heart of the 3 Vallées ski area, is full of opportunities for ski adventurers of all levels.

While many of you will be hitting the resort's best runs every season, others will enjoy discovering the mountains in a different way. So, whether you're a beginner freerider or a keen ski tourer, you can take advantage of the resort's ski lifts or embark on an ascent in sealskins to some of the most remote corners of the area.

You're guaranteed an unforgettable experience through the wonderful wild landscapes of Méribel!

While the area around Méribel has no shortage of extreme couloirs, steep slopes and powder fields popular with many freeriders, there are also a few hidden treasures where you can enjoy the off-piste experience on your own.

To do this, head for the Saulire sector. From the top of the Loze chairlift, climb the ridge of the Rocher de la Loze and continue towards the Dent de Burgin. As well as enjoying a magnificent view of Méribel and Les Encombres, you'll need speed and technique on the many slopes and couloirs in the area.

More experienced skiers can also try the less-frequented Valdez sector or the Pointe de Borgne couloirs. These are just some of the spots where jumps, steep slopes and narrow paths all combine to require perfect mastery of the discipline!

Whatever their level of off-piste experience, seasoned skiers will be able to set off with one of our experienced instructors during their stay in Méribel. Each of our instructors has a detailed knowledge of the area. You'll be perfectly guided to the best virgin slopes in the area, but you'll also have the opportunity to discover your instructor's favourite secret spots.

For a few hours, half a day or a full day, you'll be able to experience a unique and unforgettable moment in the Vanoise, all in a safe environment.

Our instructors and mountain guides will take the time to inform you, and even train you, in the correct techniques for off-piste skiing and the use of safety equipment, to make your experience as complete as possible!
