Meribel doesn't quite match up to the Val d'Isere or St Anton scenes, but it has a varied and lively nightlife with loud pubs and popular nightclubs open until the early hours. Apres Ski is centred around the British run bars with live music being the key feature.
Le Rond Point
The Rond Point is located above Meribel centre at the Rond Point des Pistes, and sits just of the piste below the Rhodos bubble lift. This is a must visit venue, with a busy sun terrace and live music, famous throughout the ski world for its raucous dancing and partying. The Rond Point becomes packed out during happy hour (especially Wednesdays), starting at 4pm daily with live music and the infamous toffee vodka, which can be bought by the bottle. The Ronny, as it is known in resort, closes at 7pm so enjoy the ski down!
