Skiing on Mont Vallon
A sun-kissed descent from an elevation of almost 3,000 metres: The Plattieres cable car treats you to stunning scenic views on your way up the mountain. Starting from Mont Vallon, located at 2,952 metres above sea level, you’ll then head downhill on your skis, carving through pristine high alpine terrain.
For families with little ones who might need another season before tackling any such descents, Méribel-Mottaret is the perfect alternative: The ski runs are very family-friendly, with relatively short and gently sloping sections, providing an ideal environment for beginners and children.
