Mairie des Allues (Méribel)

What Mairie des Allues (Méribel) does

Mairie des Allues is the municipal government (commune) of Les Allues in the Savoie department of the French Alps, governing the internationally recognized Méribel ski resort and surrounding villages within the 3 Vallées ski domain. As a public territorial collectivity under the Code Général des Collectivités Territoriales, the commune delivers administrative services to permanent residents, seasonal workers, and tourists through a physical counter at its headquarters on rue de la Resse, an online portal, and partner locations including tourist offices at Méribel Centre and Mottaret. Mayor Thierry Monin leads an elected municipal council that oversees service delivery, urban planning, social services via the CCAS, school transport, and the commune's 119 managed municipal buildings.

The commune's service portfolio spans administrative procedures (urbanisme, elections, civil status), online payment via the TIPI platform, school transport coordinated with Val Vanoise, the Méribus free shuttle connecting the valley, recreational facilities (Olympic Park with ice rink and musical bar, Méribel Bikepark with ~40 km of downhill trails), and an upcoming Cultural Pole in the former presbytery opening autumn 2026. Funding flows primarily from tourist tax (taxe de séjour) managed via ofeaweb.fr, municipal taxes and fees, parking and transportation revenues, and 11 delegated public service contracts covering ski lifts, golf, the equestrian center, daycare, and lake/beach operations.

The commune is mid-execution of the Méribel 2038 ecological transition program launched in 2021, with 19 institutional, economic, and associative partners. The initiative earned two Flocons Verts from Mountain Riders in December 2024, the highest level of the sustainability label. Active partnerships include Société des 3 Vallées (S3V), Méribel Alpina, Parc national de la Vanoise, Office National des Forêts, and Compagnie des Alpes, supporting renewable energy deployment (189 MWh/year photovoltaic at Mont Vallon), biodiversity monitoring (tetras-lyre, golden eagle GPS tracking), LED street lighting conversion (93% of public lighting), and forest diversification under Label Bas Carbone.
