Beginners tend to meet and congregate around the main Chaudanne area in central Meribel. There are some very good beginner runs in the resort however, they do tend to be at the higher levels. This is a particular benefit because it takes the beginners higher up to the more snow-sure climes early on in the learning stages, and will help you really feel in the thick of the action that little bit more!

Snowboarding in Meribel:

Snowboarding has very good roots in Meribel. The facilities for riders are superb and the park and pipe options (3 in total) are all very well groomed, easily accessed and include a variety of hips and jumps to suit all abilities.

The Freeriding is also very good in Meribel and riders are furnished with very good beginner conditions and excellent intermediate and advanced level terrain. A multitude of naturally featured terrain such as roll-overs, banks, cornices and excellent powder descents up at Val Thorens will entertain you for weeks on end!
