Skiing and a lot more besides
Off-piste skiing
In addition to 600 kms of secure pistes, there are endless outstanding off-piste possibilities. Each valley features a number of staggering solution for those who ski from time to time through to free riders.
It is your responsibility to assess and manage the risks presented by off-piste skiing. If you prefer to seek the help of professionals: ESF Méribel
Brides-les-Bains off-piste
Depending on snow conditions, ski down to the village of Brides (600 m) to enjoy skiing at varying heights over some 2000 m, from the ridges to the river passing through forests and orchards on the way. It is your responsibility to assess and manage the risks presented by off-piste skiing. Beginners and brand new equipment are not suited to this type of skiing!
The village slopes
2 blue pistes ("le Raffort" and "les villages") await you in the woods on the Roc de Fer mountain side. They extend the ski slope (it’s possible to ski lower down here than in Méribel) and take you near the village of Brides when returning at the end of the day.
Snowpark & Boardercorss
Names from another world will provide you with new experiences without having to be reckless. Banked bends, jumps, ramps, etc… An 89,000 m², area lovingly looked after awaits skiers and board sports lovers : this is MoonPark (Tougnète area). Get full details on
MoonStuff
"Ptit Moon" : Special children’s play area (Slope roundabout area)

Moonride secure area
An alluring, untouched slope, criss-crossed by the faint tracks of a winter hare; silence, momentarily broken by the cry of a jackdaw; the forests, tranquil. You are entering the world of Moonride, where skiing and snowboarding return to the purity of their origins, those of pleasure and freedom.
Snowshoes, trekking
You can discover the Méribel Valley with snowshoes, walking through the silent forests, looking out for deer and grouse.
