Discover Méribel

Méribel is a charming resort that is internationally renowned for its location, architecture, and quality of services. It is impossible not to fall in love with this resort in the heart of Les 3 Vallées, the largest ski area in the world.

The ski area

Méribel shares with the neighboring valleys of Courchevel and Belleville (Val Thorens, Les Menuires, Saint-Martin-de-Belleville), the envied title of the world's largest ski area: the 3 Valleys. An unmissable area offering exceptional vertical drops (from 1100m to 3200m altitude) with some of the most modern and comfortable lifts in the world. Thanks to its multiple exposures and varied terrain, the area offers exceptional snow quality, both on and off the slopes, providing an exceptional playground for freeriders.

In summer, Méribel offers a vast playground, whether on land, with hiking, horse riding, mountain biking or golf; in the air, with paragliding or tourist planes taking off from the Altiport; or in the water, with the Méribel Olympic Park.

The atmosphere

The family atmosphere of Meribel is very much in keeping with its great Front de Neige in La Chaudanne (neuralgic centre of Meribel) as well as the festive area of the Rond-point des Pistes and its numerous high-altitude terraces including the famous Folie Douce. Exceptional infrastructures such as the Olympic Park (with ice rink, swimming pool, gym, spa, etc.) and the latest ski lifts make Meribel one of the best ski destinations in the world.

Accommodations

Meribel welcomes a diverse international clientele. The resort is particularly popular among the British skiers, which results from its history. Meribel offers a large range of options for accommodation, from the standard studio to the ultimate luxury chalet and 4 or 5-star hotels, but they all have "value for money" as the common denominator.

Several villages and hamlets constitute the identity of Meribel, whose main ones are Meéribel Center, Méribel Village, Le Raffort or Mottaret.

Méribel Centre

Meribel Center is the main village of Meribel which concentrates most of the accommodation, shops and activities. Meribel Center is very spread out on the eastern flank.

The heart of Méribel Center is centered around the Chaudanne road, between the Place de la Maison du Tourisme with its shops and pubs (L’Abreuvoir, La Taverne, Le Savoy, le Barometer…) until La Chaudanne with its terraces of restaurants like La Cantine d'Alvar, its shops, its hotels, its night bars including Les Saints Pères among others!

Meribel Center and La Chaudanne are also the nerve center of the ski area, with 5 large, state-of-the-art ski lifts converging in one terminal to take the skiers to Courchevel on one side via the Dent de Burgin and to the Belleville valley on the other - Saint Martin de Belleville, Les Ménuires and Val Thorens.

The Raffort

The Raffort is one of the most typical hamlets of the Meribel valley. Made up almost exclusively of refurbished chalets and barns, the Raffort is increasingly popular and demanded by a clientele in search of tranquility, authenticity, and high-end accommodation.

The "Itinéraire du Raffort" trail gives the hamlet a much-appreciated return by ski. The Olympe cable car, 100m from the hamlet, gives access to Meribel Center and the ski area in 2 minutes. The chalets Hygge or Dzintila are the witnesses of housing that rises in range and of a hamlet whose popularity is only increasing.
