Meribel Centre
To get to Meribel Centre just follow the green Truite piste all the way into La Chaudanne. You can also catch the Pas du Lac telecabine to the top or mid-station to ski down into Meribel Centre.
Courchevel
The Courchevel valley can be accessed within 1 lift via the Pas du Lac telecabine from the main lift hub. From the top, there is then a few routes you can take to get to Courchevel 1850 or Courchevel 1650.
Val Thorens and Les Menuires
Val Thorens and Les Menuires can be accessed from the main ligh hub by catching the Plattieres telecabine then a short ski along a blue piste to the Cote Brune chairlift, from which you can then follow either blue or red pistes all the way into Val Thorens or Les Menuires.
If you want to avoid the telecabine, you can catch the Combes chairlift from the lift hub, follow the blue Martre piste to the Chatelet chairlift and that takes you to the same point as the Plattieres telecabine.
Our Favourite Run
From the top of the Cote Brune chairlift follow the blue Lac de la Chambre piste all the way down to the Plan des Mains chairlift, from there you can ski back into Mottaret via the snow park.
Ski School Meeting Points
ESF are the only ski school to have a meeting point in Mottaret.
However, the ski school meeting points at La Chaudanne in Meribel Centre can be accessed within a very short ski down the green Truite piste.
Best Area for Children and Beginners
