The Resort
Méribel is a village with a true alpine heart. You won’t find blocks of hotels and purpose-built facilities here. Instead, the compact and lively town centre is picture-postcard perfect, and its atmosphere is quaint and fairytale-like. It is without a doubt the most romantic resort in the area and if you’re planning a couples holiday in the snow you’ll definitely want to take a closer look at Méribel.
At the centre of the world famous Trois Vallées (Three Valleys), Méribel makes up part of the largest ski domain in the world. Across the valleys, it has six sister resorts. You can either get a single-resort lift pass and keep to the fantastic beginner and intermediate terrain there, but you also have the option of purchasing a pass that covers the whole area.
The advanced lift system at Méribel will let you maximise your time on the snow and make sure you’re not waiting around in queues. With 67 runs to try out just in the resort itself, there is no time to be wasted. Just beware of the afternoon sun cutting things short on the west-facing slopes and prepare to get up with the sun if you’re after untouched powder. At it’s highest skiing point Méribel reaches an altitude of 2952 metres and the descent from this point is known to be one of the most scenic runs around.
Aside from the world-class skiing, Méribel is also known to be one of the liveliest resorts in the Three Valleys. Many of its residents and bar-owners (as well as plenty of its visitors) are expat-Brits who certainly know how to party. The après-ski scene here is truly top-notch!
Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesThe apartment promises a gala time for kids. There is plenty of space for them to run amok, build snowmen and play-fight with snowballs. Take them for scenic hikes, horse riding and cycling adventures. After a long day outdoors, they can watch their favourite cartoons in the TV lounge or play indoor games. Treat them to warm bubble baths in the luxurious tub. If you wish to arrange for highchairs or baby cots, our staff will be happy to help.
Blessed with an enviable location, the apartment is also at an easy distance from nursery slopes, delightful ice-skating rinks and other kid-friendly winter activities. The staff will be happy to help you with details about ski schools and kid-friendly ski areas in the neighbourhood.
Meribel is a joyous draw for the entire family, with many activities specially designed for kids. Head to Olympic Park and show off your skills on the ice skating rink. The little ones won’t get enough of the bowling alley, which has a few lanes for children over 3. Enjoy hours of splashy fun in the indoor swimming pool, which includes a kids’ section.
Watch children’s films every evening at Cinéma du Mottaret, a cosy one-screen cinema hall; English language features are marked ‘VO’ on the advertisement. Take a memorable hot air balloon ride over snowy forests and majestic peaks at Courchevel Altiport, which is about 45 mins by car from Meribel Centre. Teenagers will love taking pictures and setting their social media ablaze.
After all of this excitement, the little ones surely deserve treats. At Rond Point restaurant, they can gorge on the best ice cream sundaes in town. For something savoury, dip into a bowl of cheesy fondue at La Fromagerie.
