Meribel - Ski Resort Guide

Webcam | Piste Map | Snow Report & Weather Forecast

Meribel ski holidays are great for people who like to ski hard and play hard. As the middle valley of the famous Three Valleys (which includes 600km of pistes) this is probably one of the best resorts in the world for clocking up the kilometres and enjoying a change of scenery while skiing. Meribel is not your resort if you're after some traditional French atmosphere although it has managed to avoid the unattractive architecture associated with some resorts. Mottaret is slightly smaller and only 5km away. The two sites are easily connected by the free bus service.

Meribel - Ski

This valley alone covers around 150km with some of the prettiest views and plenty of chairlifts in the sun! Beginners can enjoy the Altiport area but are more catered for in Mottaret. There is plenty on offer for intermediates and experts can choose between moghuls, powder, vertical drops and snow parks - it is hard not to be impressed. The more challenging terrain is at Mont de la Chambre at the head of the valley. The speed and efficiency of the lift system is second to none and ski tows are generally optional.

Meribel - Town

Live music features heavily here and some of the best parties start in the Rond Point around 4pm and continue until dinnertime! Later on there are many bars to choose from including the famous Dick's Tea Bar. There is plenty of variety for eating out - from fast food to Michelin starred restaurants. Leisure facilities include a cinema and a large leisure centre with pool, fitness, sauna, bowling and climbing wall. The heart of the resort is Meribel 1450 with most the shops and restuarants and a bi-weekly street market. Confusingly, Meribel Village is not the main village but actually a 2km drive away from 1450 and is linked into the ski area.

Activities

There are plenty of activities in Meribel and Mottaret if you need a break from skiing. Try dog sledding, ice driving, indoor climbing, walking, paragliding and more.
