Over the next two years, Méribel Alpina 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.
This ambitious investment programme will continue in 2019 with two new pistes, a cultured-snow network and a tunnel to improve skier comfort. It’s not by chance that Méribel was chosen to host the Alpine World Ski Championships in 2023!
Legends the new premium chairlift starting at la Chaudanne
This single chairlift replaces the carrying capacity of two others, Plan de l’Homme and Roc de Fer, offering a journey time of just 4 minutes 40 seconds!
With its 6 thermo-regulated seats and weather-shield, Legends offers the highest level of comfort to skiers. The seats commemorate the Alpine ski champions who have earned their place in Méribel’s history. Legends reinforces Méribel’s reputation as an elegant and sporting resort.

Cherferie chairlift
By replacing the difficult Cherferie draglift, the new high speed 6-seat chairlift will allow more skiers to discover these pistes, especially the delightful blue Choucas piste, appreciated for its good snow and sunny aspect.
With its 4 minute journey time, this forms a very quick link to the Belleville valley, another easy access to les 3 Vallées. Cherferie gives direct access to the Jerusalem piste, an enchanting run which drops towards the charming village of Saint-Martin.
