Méribel → Plan des Mains

The exact pistes and lifts to ride from Méribel to Plan des Mains — computed leg by leg, spoken turn by turn.

Below is a real route Glidr computed over Méribel’s routing graph: 14 legs, 6.9 km on the pistes and 7.0 km on the lifts, from the village to Plan des Mains.

Méribel already gives you a good map — on the mountain, in the resort’s own app, and on its website, with live lift and piste status. What none of them do is plan the way there. Tell Glidr where you are and where you want to get to, and it works out the exact sequence of pistes and lifts to ride, then guides you turn by turn. Here is that sequence to Plan des Mains.

A map shows the mountain — a route shows the way

The resort map, app or website

  • Shows every piste and lift, and which ones are open.
  • You still trace the way down yourself and guess which lift climbs back.
  • No route from where you’re standing to a specific lift, bar or restaurant.
  • Nothing tells you the next turn as you ride.

Glidr’s computed route

  • Works out the actual sequence from where you are to Plan des Mains.
  • Names every leg: this piste, then that lift, then this piste.
  • Distance and vertical for each leg, so nothing is a surprise.
  • Speaks each turn as you go, with a buzz on your watch.

More than a map: what else Glidr does

Routing is the start. Glidr also keeps the parts of a ski day a piste map never touches — all private by default, so you decide what's shared:
