Once you are out of the resort bases in the morning there are
very few queues. Later in the day the lifts that link with
the other valleys can be more congested but this tends to be worse coming back into Méribel. Having said that, all of them have improved dramatically in the
last few years.
Lifts usually open at 9am and close between
4.30pm and 5pm but it's worth checking the piste map for individual closing times which are also clearly displayed on the lift stations each day.
Recent improvements include new six-seaters for the Plan de l’Homme and
Plan de Main chairs and further upgrades will be ready for 2010.
