MERIBEL ARRIVAL GUIDE – MEETING POINT

Joining us on foot

Make your way to the La Chaudanne Lift Area in Meribel Centre. You’ll find our green Prosneige Flag on the snow front. You’ll find us between the ESF Piou Piou (Ski Kindergarden – usually with a large inflatable yellow chicken), which will be on your right & the little Chalet on your left. Just before the Rhodos Telecabine.

Join us using the resort shuttle (navettes) or the Telecabine from Brides-Les-Bains

Hop off the bus at the ‘Rond Point-La Chaudanne’ stop in Meribel Centre.  You’ll be just a few steps from the snow front. Simply follow the ‘Joining us on foot’ directions.

Coming from Brides-Les-Bains or Les Allues by the L’Olympe Telecabine (Cable Car). Your last stop will be Meribel Centre. You can either ski or Snowboard down the small slope to the Lift Area, or on foot by taking the stairs past the Bowling Alley & Medical Centre until you arrive at the La Chaudanne Lift Area and our Meeting Point.

Joining us on skis

You’ll need to take a slope that arrives at the La Chaudanne Lift Area in Meribel Centre. Then look for our green Prosneige Flag – see the ‘Joining us on foot’ directions.

From Meribel-Mottaret – this is the green slope called ‘La Truite’. You’ll arrive on the opposite side of the snow front, so make your way towards the Rhodos Telecabine, which will be on your right. You’ll see us between the ESF Ski Kindergarden & a little Chalet.

Allow plenty of time to take an addtional slope & chairlift, or alternatively the navette service links most parts of Meribel with the La Chaudanne Lift Area.

A little lost or running late?
Don’t worry, we’re here to help! Give us a call on  +33 (0) 4 79 01 07 00. We’ll guide you to the meeting point by phone.

KIDS GROUP LESSONS

Brown Bear & White Bear Group Lessons
On the first morning, our Instructor Team will be working together to welcome all of our Brown & White Bear Skiers.

The Brown Bear & White Bear groups will be organised by the Instructor Team after their evaluation.  The groups are not fixed & we can change the groups depending on the progression of your skier.

The Medal Ceremony

Every Friday, 15 minutes before the Group Lessons end, we host a medal ceremony for all of our Kids Group Lessons.  Chat to our Instructor Team over a Hot Chocolate (with or without a dash of Chartreuse) about what your skier or snowboarder has achieved over the week.

Snack Time
All of our Kids Groups will have mid-morning or mid-afternoon pause to re-charge the batteries! Hot chocolate is included, but do pop a snack into their pocket & some cash if they are heading out on to the slopes. We have lockers available in the Ski School Office where you can leave their backpacks with snacks & drink bottle.

ADULT GROUP LESSONS

Your Instructors will be waiting in front of the Prosneige flag that matches your group level. We often have more than one group at each level running. So  if there are more than 7 participants in the group – don’t panic! The first 2 mornings are for getting your snow legs back & for our Instructors to assess the groups. We’ll then ensure you are in the right group that advances at your level & with the right number of participants.

First Time & Beginner Adults

We understand that learning to Ski or Snowboard can be a daunting process! So to make those first lessons on the slopes a little easier:

  • If you are booked into our First Time or Beginner Plus Group Ski Lessons, bring along your aprés ski footwear & so that you can leave your ski boots with us when you are done for the day.
  •  Need a helping hand to get your ski boots on & fastened or navigating the meeting point – Our Prosneige Team are here to help.
  • You can leave the poles in our Ski Storage for the first morning as they won’t be needed (just don’t forget which ones were yours!)

PRIVATE LESSONS

You’ll find our Welcome Team & your Instructors at our Prosneige Flag on the snow front at the La Chaudanne Lift Area. Not sure where to go? Our Prosneige Team will be there to help.

How are we doing?

We like to know what you think or what we could do better.  After your first lesson we’ll send you a SMS so you can let us know how your lesson went.

If your lesson didn’t go as planned, then we’ll give you a call to find out why. By all means feel free to pop in to the Ski School Office & speak to us directly – we’ll do our best to find a solution!

Which Lift Pass?

For all of our Group Ski & Snowboard Lessons – you’ll need a Meribel lift pass.

Those more advanced Skiers & Snowboarders, your Instructor will let you know the day before if/when you’ll need the 3 Valley extension.

To make life easier at the barriers, pop your lift pass into a pocket on the left hand side of your jacket or trousers.

For those aged under 5 years, their lift pass is free! You’ll need to pick this up at the lift pass office & take along proof of their date of birth.

If you have booked one of our Beginner Ski Passes with your lessons – your Instructor will give you the pass at the start of your first lesson.
