FAQs


Which ski pass should I go for?

The price difference between a 6 day, 3 Valley pass and a 6 day Meribel Valley pass is only €62.00 for an adult. If you are a confident skier then the Three Valley pass is the one to go for. If you are intermediate and happy on greens, blues and a few reds, then we also suggest going for the Three Valley pass. We’d really only suggest sticking with a Meribel valley pass if you’re a first-time skier or have done less than a week. Even so, there are some great gentle runs into Courchevel and St Martin from the Meribel valley.

Which ski pass do I need for my lessons?

Usually, young children and beginners will only require a Meribel pass rather than the full Three Valleys pass, however you should contact your ski school directly to find out which one you will need.

Does a ski pass have to cover consecutive days?

Yes, at the moment you have to select your start date for your pass and it will run from then, for the number of days you wish to ski. If you plan on skiing for more than 4 days in total, then it is worth getting the 6-day ski pass.

Is there a family pass?

Yes, a family pass is available for which everybody is charged the child rate (see prices table). A family consists of a minimum of 3 people including at least one child (max. 2 adults and 6 children aged between 5-17 years)

I’m not sure how much I want to ski. Can I just buy my pass daily when I decide to ski?

Yes, you can buy your day pass from the bottom of the Golf lift in Meribel Village or the Chaudanne in Meribel Centre. The cost of a day pass is €79 per day.

Is there a half day pass?

Yes, there is the option of buying a 4-hour pass which you can use for 4 hours during any one day. The cost of a 4-hour pass is €70.50.

Can pedestrians use the lifts?

Yes, pedestrians can use many of the lifts to access walks and restaurants (prices are indicated in the table above). You can find the pedestrian access map via the link below:

What is Carre Neige insurance, and do I need it?

Carre Neige insurance covers your emergency transportation off the mountain should you have an accident and be unable to ski/board down, which some travel insurance policies don’t cover. Full details can be found via the link below:

Contact your travel insurance provider to find out whether you are already covered.

Carre Neige insurance normally costs from €3.30 per day.
