Méribel at Golf de Méribel

Golf de Méribel sits in the French Alps at approximately 1,450 meters elevation in the heart of the Trois Vallées ski region. Designed by Gery Watine, Mickael Fenn, and Thierry Sprecher, the course occupies alpine terrain characterized by significant elevation changes, natural water features, and dense forest corridors. The layout works through a landscape of mountain meadows and pine stands, with fairways that follow the natural contours of the valley floor and surrounding slopes.

The routing takes advantage of the dramatic topography, incorporating uphill and downhill holes that require careful club selection in the thin mountain air, where ball flight behaves differently than at lower elevations. Several holes play alongside or across streams that descend from the surrounding peaks. The design preserves much of the site's natural character, with relatively narrow playing corridors framed by mature trees and native vegetation.

The course operates as a summer amenity in a resort destination known primarily for winter sports. The alpine setting provides views of the surrounding peaks and valleys, and the short summer season means conditions can vary depending on snowmelt timing and weather patterns typical of high-altitude locations. The facility serves both resort visitors and local members during the warmer months when the ski infrastructure gives way to hiking, mountain biking, and golf in the Tarentaise Valley.
