Resort overview

The middle valley of the largest linked ski area in the world, Meribel has tree lined slopes and wooden chalet style buildings. It’s what you imagine a ski holiday to be like and to top it off you can really let your hair down in some of the best apres ski bars around.

Apres ski in Meribel

Live music is Meribel’s bread and butter. Perfect for a sunny afternoon on the slopeside terraces. When the epic apres institution of La Folie Douce plays second fiddle to some seriously good bars you know you’re in for a good time.

Where to stay in Meribel?

Make sure you check which area of the resort your accommodation is in and that that's where you want to be. The centre is the lively hub, Meribel Village is close to the slopes and Mottaret is pretty much ski in, ski out but a bus from town.

We have a range of accommodation in Meribel to suit your needs. Choose from Chalets in Meribel, suitable for small to large groups with self-catering facilities or a Hotel handpicked for ski ease. Alternatively, you have Self Catered Apartments which provide your own space, convenience and flexibility.

What's happening in Meribel?

  • Two new pistes for 2019/20: 'Gypaète' red run from the top of the Cherferie chairlift and 'Daguet' red run where you hang a left after the first big wall of 'La Face' black piste and cruise down to the forest edge
  • Family cool ski area, by the Altiport, with Inuit entertainers all season long with plenty of games and activities for some warm-hearted fun
  • Back to the wild wooden sculpture perfect for a selfie, plus there are high tech wooden cabins on the pistes for picnics, glove warming and phone charging to go with the stunning views
  • La Saulire by night - Private lift up the mountain before enjoying an aperitif as the sun sets and then a ski descent guided by the light of your flaming torch and local guides on a freshly groomed piste for your small group (something unique for your next ski holiday?)

    Pistes in Meribel

    Meribel's position in the heart of the world-famous Three Valley ski area gives access to 600km of pistes and unlimited off-piste skiing making this ski resort popular with all types of Winter Sport enthusiasts. For beginners, head on over to Méribel Altiport, a perfect for learning. Intermediate and advanced skiers and snowboarders, you have several excellent mogul fields plus the famous couloirs in Courchevel and Mont Vallon in Meribel which is a fantastically long and challenging piste with guaranteed snow.

    A lack of snow is rarely a problem in Méribel, with their snowmaking machines increasingly used and new ones being built. Some of the runs tend to get slushy due to the afternoon sunshine later in the season, but you have Val Thorens just next door to supply the high altitude skiing.
