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

Meribel is where the three valleys really comes to life. Youre no longer racing over to Courchevel or charging your way back to Val Thorens. From Meribel, you can access every inch of the ski area in a relatively peaceful and comfortable way as you could expect from Skiing. Staying down in the village of Les Allues, and you can find beautiful chalets and the old village way of life, while still being able to access the most unbelievable skiing. If you want Après, Meribel has you covered, if you want world class skiing, Meribel has you covered, if you want charm and necessities, Meribel has you covered.

Famous for being part of the largest ski area in the world I expected more. Runs were not prepared every evening and some runs stayed as Mogals for the whole of my weeks stay. Great if you want to practice skiing bumps but for beginners I imagine this could be tricky. There were huge lift ques making getting around the mountain efficiently difficult. Mountain hits were also very expensive.

Lived and worked within this resort for a couple seasons and a return visitor frequently. Absolutely love the 3 valleys and the variety in skiing, apres and surroundings. Meribel is situated in the middle and gives you great access to the rest of the ski area, whether it's through trees or after a fresh dump of snow at the top it has it all. Fun for every age group and got to end your day at Rond Point!

Great for apres with plenty of clubs and bars midway up the mountain with even more in the town centre. Great access to all three of Les 3 Vallees

We go to Meribel every year sometimes even twice a season. Fantastic all around! Great for every level on piste and off! Huge area means ski runs are relatively quiet.
