I stayed at Les Allues and took the lift up to Meribel Centre each day. This works very well as you arrive before those lifts start at 09:00. The connection to Courchevel if you wish is quick and convenient, but obviously, you have to be aware of your return options if a storm causes interruptions in the lift system. There is amazing, broad, easily accessible inbounds offpiste right beside the pistes. In comparison to e.g. Avoriaz the pistes in Meribel/ Courchevel were wider and the variety and number of pistes was surprising. The mountain restaurants I visited weren't cheap, but where is these days? I know several of the ski instructors and would recommend Ski With Ease, who really go above and beyond the standard ski school experience. They will take you to those secret quiet spots where the snow lies untouched for days.

Great all rounder resort. It has something for everyone whether you get out on the mountain or not. Caters do a huge variety of age ranges. Favourite ski resort
