Tailor-made Alpine excellence

At the heart of the Trois Vallées, the largest linked ski area in the world, Méribel has established itself as a resort of excellence.
The Bureau des Guides was set up here in the 1970s, initially focusing on mountaineering and exploring the Vanoise and Tarentaise regions, before expanding its summer offering with iconic routes such as the Dent de Burgin via ferrata.

The winter activity took off in 1996, driven by the development of ski touring and off-piste skiing. Specialists in all aspects of the mountain, the High Mountain Guides are the only ones fully qualified to supervise these activities and the only ones authorised to guide on glaciers. They explore with their clients the immense playground of the Three Valleys - Gebroulaz, the great couloirs of the Saulire, the virgin slopes of the Encombres, or the unspoilt valleys of the Avals - before sometimes extending the adventure to other horizons: Japan, Scandinavia, the Dolomites or Denali.

Today, the Méribel Guides' Office offers a full range of activities, summer and winter alike: canyoning, climbing, via ferrata, mountaineering, off-piste skiing, ski touring and snowshoeing. Its team of High Mountain Guides and Mountain Leaders with complementary backgrounds, united by the same human and professional values, guarantees unique, intense and safe mountain experiences.
