Méribel Lift Upgrades

J2SkiNews posted 31-Jul



Méribel—one of the key resorts in the world's largest ski area Les 3 Vallées—has announced several lift upgrades while deepening its environmental commitments.

To improve skier flow and comfort, the Cote Brune chairlift is being transformed into a high-capacity gondola. Featuring 10-seater cabins capable of transporting up to 2,600 people per hour, the upgrade will offer smoother, faster connections between Val Thorens and Les Menuires.

In addition, the Rhodos cable car is undergoing a full renovation focused on modernisation and sustainability. The overhaul includes the installation of new-generation cabins, upgraded electrical systems, and a mechanical refresh of the stations. Architectural improvements are scheduled in phases, with the departure and intermediate stations to be completed this year and the arrival station following in 2026.

Méribel has also been awarded two 'Flocons Verts' (Green Snowflake) labels from the French environmental organisation Mountain Riders, recognising the resort's ecological efforts through its "Méribel 2038" program.
