About Meribel

The 3 Valleys ski area incorporates the resorts of Courchevel, Meribel and Val Thorens plus a number of smaller villages and being in the centre valley, Meribel makes a perfect base to explore the neighbouring resorts.

The lift system is quick and efficient and there are plenty of snow cannons, so you can always find good snow conditions.

Founded by British skier Peter Lindsay in 1938, Meribel is a pretty Alpine village with traditional chalet style architecture. The village centre is buzzing and lively and there is always plenty going on, both on and off the mountain.

We have some fabulous luxury ski chalets in Meribel, some with ski in/ski out access to the slopes.

BEST TIME
TO VISIT

The season normally runs from the first week of Dec to the last week of April. Please note that there may be a limited lift system in the first couple of weeks if the snow is a little late.

What we love about Meribel

We love the combination of the pretty village, the vibrant après-ski scene and Meribel’s superb central position in the vast 3 Valleys ski area, giving convenient access to the largest ski area in the world.

Getting there

Geneva and Lyon airports are approximately a 2 hour drive away. The nearest airport is Chambery at 1 hour 20 minutes away.

The Skiing

Being located in the middle valley and with the fast, efficient lift system, you have easy access to even the farthest reaches of the piste map – perfect for those looking to explore on a luxury ski holiday.

With such an enormous ski area at your ski tips, there are plenty of runs for all levels of skier, from gentle wide open cruising to challenging blacks and punishing moguls. There is so much to choose from, enough to keep most skiers occupied their whole skiing career.

There are some very good gentle nursery slopes for beginners and children, with a multitude of excellent ski schools to choose from, which is great for families on a luxury ski holiday in Meribel.

Although Meribel itself is only at an altitude of 1450m, there is fast access to higher slopes so there is nearly always good snow to be found even late in the season.

Best Places To Eat and Drink

Meribel has a buzzing après-ski scene, with the piste-side Rond Point having live bands in the afternoons, and many of the bars in town getting lively later on. There are also a few more sophisticated options for a calmer drink, if you are looking for a night cap before you head back to your luxury ski chalet.

There are many mid-range restaurants to choose from, but probably the best food is to be found at the hotels in town – try the Grand Coeur or the Allodis. The Escale restaurant in the Altiport hotel is also highly regarded.
