Is it safe to go skiing

Is it safe to go skiing? In short – absolutely!  Skiing is enjoyed in vast open areas. Meaning it’s makes it safer in regard to COVID-19 than other more enclosed activities. Therefore, making it the perfect option for a winter get away.

The summer season in Meribel was a great success, with Meribel proving as a safe haven for its visitors. The successful summer has meant that the social distancing measures in place, have been perfected ahead of the winter season.

Here you can find information on the simple changes that have been made around resort, to ensure we can all get back to enjoying everything Meribel has to offer this winter!

 

Keep your distance

There will be use of ground markings whilst queuing for lifts. Similar to those you will have become used to seeing at home, in places such as supermarkets and retail shops.

 

Wear a mask

Anyone over the age of 11 will be required to wear a mask when riding ski lifts as well as, whilst queuing for them. As in most places, you will also be required to wear a mask when on public transport, in taxis, shops and whilst away from your table in restaurants and bars.

 

Eating out
