Méribel Holiday Extras

In addition to the vast amounts of skiable terrain, Méribel has a fantastic range of ski & snowboard facilities ranging from ski school & ski hire through to childcare.  Read on for more info!

Ski School

We recommend three fantastic ski schools for the guests of our ski chalets in Méribel - Magic, Parallel Lines and Marmalade. All schools are of equal standard with English speaking instructors but, at the same time, they all offer something a little different to fit our guests' skiing needs. We can help arrange lessons for you in advance or in resort, alternatively you can book online.

Marmalade Ski School

From your first ever turns down the beginner runs to some of the most exciting off-piste the 3 Valleys have to offer, the Marmalade team of instructors can deliver it all!  Each of the 8 instructors are serious ski / board enthusiasts, they are all fully qualified, experienced and English-speaking. Their lessons are technical but most importantly fun! We especially recommend them for advanced skiers wanting to push their capabilities to the next level and discover new terrain under the expert guiding.   They offer private lessons, performance clinics, youth specific weeks (for high-level and experienced children), corporate packages and specific development weeks for training ski instructors.

Méribel Ski Passes

Ski passes can be ordered easily in advance with your booking. They will be waiting in your ski chalet in Meribel on your arrival so you can get up that mountain as fast as physically possible!

We have based the prices below on 6 days, but you can buy a pass for as little or as many days as you like. You can also buy a half day pass for the day you arrive if you would like to ski in the afternoon. These are the prices for winter 2017/18 season and are subject to change. If you are skiing in a group of less than three people it will be cheaper to buy your passes through us as we benefit from the group discount for all clients, regardless of group size. This discount is not available at the lift pass office for groups smaller than three.

Insurance (Carre Neige)

Adult6 days16.80€
Child6 days14.40€

Please note Carré Neige insurance covers you for transport off the mountain, either on or off piste. If you show your lift pass receipt to the pisteurs they will take the policy number and their costs will be met by the insurance - you have no further involvement. Once the pisteurs have dropped you at the doctors this cover ends. Carré Neige is not a full insurance policy - it's a top-up cover designed to act in tandem with your state or private health insurance. It will reimburse only those costs not covered by your main insurance. Comprehensive winter sports insurance should cover you without the Carré Neige, but do check your policy before travelling.
