Good position in the middle of the 3 valleys, so although not the best snow, easy to access Val Thorens and Courchevel.
Also accessible from Brides les Bains if you want a cheaper pace to stay. Lots of SC accomodation at Mottaret e..g. Le Hameau

Méribel was incredible, so many different runs and various chair lifts or gondolas to use. On the resort there is also an ice hockey rink where you can go ice skating for a good price, its where I went and found my passion for ice skating and ice hockey! Theres also a rock climbing wall, bowling and other activities for all the family to enjoy! There was good snow at the resort around Christmas time December 2024. Absolutely fantastic for all the family to enjoy, whether youre skiing, snowboarding, or just there for the beautiful mountain views and food and drink.

Meribel Centre , as with all the "satellite" accommodation (eg Motteret, Les Allues, Village) , sits centrally within by far the best linked lift system feeding by far the best variances of ski terrain in the world: the 3 valleys . There's something here for everyone and anyone, both for skiers/boarders and non-skiers alike , and over many years of coming here , we always find something new in both ski-terrain and entertainment experiences each and every year . The one real negative we'd like to raise about Meribel, though , is the questionable management and design of the numerous pistes converging at the main lift station meeting areas . With the massive uphill capacity of the 3V's built into supplying vast numbers of skiers from Val T to the Courchevel valley and back the other way , there are daily , numerous accidents of skiers colliding which is a direct result of too much speed within crowded and crossing-direction pistes . There ought to be some design-planning and then some action taken to provide , for eg , more speed-arresting barriers for those converging pistes and possibly a few "flyover" bridges to encourage skiers to take a one direction route to a connecting lift and out of possible collisions with skiers converging or crossing over pistes !

Meribel is in the heart of the 3 valleys and is a brilliant ski resort to base yourself in. Its got all the luxury options along with cheaper alternatives too for eating out and its a fun resort for all ages. Head to the top of Mont Vallon for the best views and a long ski down. Just dont get stuck on the Trout if youre a snowboarder.

I loved it here. The three valleys are absolutely huge, if you come here u will not be disappointed. The only downside is it gets busy on slopes but you soon find runs to avoid the crowds. The food and drink is expensive but a 10 euro glizzy hits the stop every time. I've only been once but i really hope to be back soon.

Been to Meribel several times it a great resort at the heart of the 3 Valleys. Massive amount of skiing with varied terrain thought the area. Lively Apres if that is what you want but there are plenty of quieter areas away from the resort centre that are great for families and those looking for something more peaceful.

Meribel is a truly amazing resort that has such great, carried terrain. It part of the massive Les Trios Vallees so you'll never have to ski the same run twice if you try.
The village has a wonderful feel and the après is some of the best in the Alps. Go check out the Rond Point or 'the Ronnie' as the locals call it. Amazing setting, views and catch the sunset whist enjoy a drink and a dance! Unmissable.

Stayed in Meribel/Meribel-Mottaret for 10 days through January 2025 season.
Love the full 3 valleys ski lift pass, so many km of runs to explore and great off-piste options too.
Lots of apres, great food options, and lots to do on and off the mountain.
My second time in the 3 valleys, Meribel being a great spot to stay.

Meribel is a great resort as its positioned in the middle of the three valleys so makes getting to the other resorts a bit handier/quicker so you can get some good skiing in. Meribel itself is a good town with some great bars & apres. It offers a lot in terms of runs for all abilities and I would always consider the resort in my top choices when planning a ski trip. Always been pleased with our accommodation here too (spacious chalets).

Great resort overall, however, a lot of the slopes were not groomed whilst we visited so moguls were prevalent on most runs. Infrastructure here is top notch, lifts are decent and getting about is easy. Minimal drag lifts.Food is good, but like all french resorts, pricey.There is a decent burger hatch in meribel motterat, probably the most affordable food option here other than self catering. Expect to pay 20-25 for burger and chips most places, and 11 euros a pint.If you dont mind a 25min gondola every morning, theres more affordable stay and eating options available in Brides Les Bains.

Having been to Meribel all my life I have such a fondness for the place. The restaurants are great, the runs are excellent and well maintained, and there is a great variety of pistes although it certainly leans more towards blues and greens rather than reds and blacks. The snow wasnt great when I went in January last year but I think that was across the Alps, and the pistes were more than skiable regardless. The accommodation options are plentiful if slightly overpriced. Overall such a great experience there and so many lovely memories!

Good skiing can easily be found. The best, for us, was in Les Minuires (a neighbouring resort). The snow was excellent there and it was much quieter. It should be noted that the easy runs in Meribel itself were chaotic at peak times with out of control skiers that were not considerate of the learner skiers on those runs. The beginner slopes were not ideal for beginners as they did not have the better snow that we found elsewhere. There are better and probably cheaper places for beginners and advanced skiers in the Three Valleys.

The location of meribel being smack bang in the middle of the 3 valleys is its best feature. You have a huge ski area to chose from with the wide open blues in courchevel being our favourite.

Three peaks were brilliant. It was my first time snowboarding.Meribel was my favourite and Val Thorens was also very fun to do. Lots of good blue runs which is where I was predominantly sitting along with a few red runs.We went at Christmas and we got very lucky with fresh powder. We even got some runs down to where we were staying near Brides Les Baines.
