Ski touring in Meribel: Tips and routes

Ski touring routesin Méribel

Ski touring is the ideal way to discover the mountains in a different way. Long overshadowed by downhill skiing, it is now attracting more and more enthusiasts. In Méribel, it's THE discipline to try.

There's nothing like being in the heart of the mountains, far from the ski lifts, just with nature all around you. Whether you're accompanied by a guide or go it alone, on a marked trail or freerando, the pleasure remains the same: freedom, discovery and real sensations. An adventure that will delight all those who love wide open spaces and fresh air.

Meribel Gébroulaz

Encountering the largest glacier in the 3 Valleys on a day-long ski tour makes for a truly fantastic experience. Accessible via the Val Thorens ski lifts, you can slip on your harness and the rest of your safety equipment for around a 1.5 hour ascent. At the Col de Gébroulaz, you then descend towards the Méribel Valley between crevasses and seracs. The magical atmosphere and long descent will become a treasured memory.

Meribel Le Roc : Movement track

A newly marked ascent route for ski touring in Méribel

From the summit of the Chalets gondola, stick on your skins and follow the marks for an easy 2km excursion with a 370m ascent in the direction of Chalet du Lac. Once you arrive at the top, you can take a well-earned rest in the chalet (free access) and enjoy the view before skiing back down the pistes.

PLEASE NOTE! When the ski area is closed from 16:30 (or 17:00 from February onwards), it is forbidden to take this route. The piste grooming machines are in operation and may not be able to see you. On the steeper slopes, they are connected to winches in the middle of the slopes which are not visible in darkness.
