Méribel blog, useful info for your Méribel holiday

Dominating the valley of Méribel by its height and its pyramidal shape, the Mont-Vallon is an unmissable summit of the 3 Valleys and one of the highest points of this ski area. In a wild and preserved setting, it imposes itself on the bottom of the valley and yet remains accessible thanks to the ski lifts, with the gondola climbing close to the highest point you can reach. The panorama offers a view on the biggest glacier of the 3 Valleys
