Meribel




OUR SELECTION OF BEST HOTELS IN MERIBEL

In the heart of Les Trois Vallées and ticking all the boxes for couples, families and friends. Meribel is a hub of traditional luxury chalets and ski hotels, keepings its traditional chocolate box Alpine feeling. With direct links to Val Thorens and Courchevel; we call it a skiers' paradise. The perfect destination for a luxury ski holiday.

















The Village

Attractive wooden-clad architecture and forested surroundings make Meribel one of the most appealing resorts in the region. It is spread across various resort heights from Meribel Village (1400m) to Meribel-Mottaret (1750m), the higher satellite resort in which our featured properties reside. With fewer high-end designer boutiques than the likes of Courchevel, you'll find the retail focus is guided more towards technical clothing outlets and family friendly stores. We recommend popping into the 'Glaciers' bakery and La Fromagerie, both wonderful local delicatessens. Later in the day you can enjoy the ever-popular nightlife in Meribel; from zestful parties at La Folie Douce to slope-side BBQ cookouts at Rond Piste. Much of the town is composed of self-catered accommodation, and so there are plenty of pubs, bars and restaurants to enjoy.

Meribel and its many neighbour resorts are adorned with some of the most stunning skiing opportunities in the world, all easily within reach due to its central location. 600km and 166 ski lifts make up this incredible circuit.

Be sure to head to Mont Vallon, the highest point in Meribel, offering beautiful panoramic views followed by a tremendous ski down the long 'Combe Vallon' red run.There is an excellent choice of ski schools available in Meribel for every discipline, teaching in a multitude of languages.
