AND WHAT’S NEW IN RESORT…..
- Over the next two years, Méribel will be investing more than 15 million Euros on its ski area. This winter, two new high-speed 6-place chairlifts will give a totally new look to the Roc de Fer slopes. Skiers will be able to comfortably and quickly discover this area and its legendary pistes, which enjoy excellent snow.
- In its first complete season, Méribel’s new toboggan run attracted even more clients: more than 6,400 experienced it as against only 2,279 in 2017! To meet the needs of more sledders, the run will now open 7 days per week. That means even more chances to race down its 3.4km and 470m vertical drop, around 28 bends, acknowledged by all to be thrilling and enormous fun. This is no ordinary toboggan run. Sledders embark on an extraordinary adventure, charged by the wizard Galdwick to save the forest people. The challenge is to warn of an imminent goblin attack by playing with the bells, gongs and other foam targets, which line the track. The adventure starts at Tougnète, as before. The price is 9€ per person for four people or four descents, or 12€ for a single descent. The price includes the ascent by lift, sled and helmet rental.
- According to legend, a long time ago the INUIT people took refuge in the heart of the Altiport forest because it reminded them of their distant lands. Since then, skiers have been transported into the Inuit world, enjoying games involving chimes, igloos, ice fields, penguins, bears and seals. Halfway along this piste you will find the Inuit Village, the ideal place for little adventurers to take a pause in the Far North. While their children enjoy the games organised by Inuit entertainers, parents can relax in the Méribel sunshine. This year, the Inuit Village will be even more fun, offering new games and entertainments to amaze the children. And the littles ones who have been good will discover the Inuit are generous with their gifts.
- The ELEMENTS Terrain Park offers you a world that’s more colourful and fun. This year, the focus is on different themes to offer skiers courses they’ll want to enjoy again and again. The four different worlds – fire, water, earth and wind – can be discovered in turn, so you can try all the different types of obstacles. The Boardercross will inspire you to challenge your friends and family to a race. The line of Whoops is ideal for novice thrills. The Mini-zone has become a hit with beginner skiers who want to learn the joys of freestyle in peace and safety. And the Fun Slope is sure to be the hit of the 2018-19 season: this wide piste will please everybody with lots of fun elements: corners, whoops, arches, bumps and figures to set spinning…
- Looking for something different to do on the chalet team’s night off? For gourmets there is a chance to try the “TELEFONDUE”, a totally unique culinary experience: a fondue in a cable car enjoyed by the light of the moon and the stars, with the surrounding mountains as a backdrop!
