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!

Vast area,been going for years and still finding new runs,the Altiport green area is perfect for learners,there is superb access to all of the 3 valleys,predominantly reds and blues with a few challenging blacks,good free bus service throughout the resort,a good variety of bars and restaurants,a cinema and skating rink, it is worth going to the ice hockey(cheapest bar in Meribel)

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.

Huge ski area in the 3 valleys. Some areas busier than others. A lot of beginners nearer the resorts, but great boarding and skiing all round from long cruisy blues to steep technical blacks.

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.

Loved meribel - ski slopes are amazing but crucially access to the theee valleys means that there was so much variety to our ski sessions. Great for a group due to slopes of all levels

I've been to Meribel once and there is just so much there. So many runs, loads of lovely blues, great ones to build confidence and ability. Sometimes it gets a bit busy but there is so much space you can always just find somewhere else.Lots of accomodation options for different prices and so many food choices.

A great resort for both families and groups of friends. Extensive groomed pistes for a lot of variety throughout a week of skiing with plenty of great options for food and drink throughout.
