The Skiers' Guide to Méribel

Meribel is a great place to learn how to ski and to ski when you are advanced. Plenty of runs for each level of difficulty and the views there are incredible.

Beautiful resort, although slightly disjointed but great if you have options for private transport or chauffeur option with chalet booking.
Lots of great restaurants and fun bars for Aprés.
Runs are good and varied and plenty of family friendly options.

I did a season there (2023/2024) and was the most fun I’ve ever had.

It’s an amazing resort with links to Courcheval and VT so there’s miles and miles of slopes, it’s friendly for beginners but has sections which are amazing for advanced levels.

It has the best park out of the 3 resorts located there aswell!

Food is amazing and lifts are efficient, only issue is it’s quite low down, so if it’s a warm day it does get slushy.

1st time visiting, enjoyed the whole resort. Great for all levels of skiers and also enjoyed the apres ski in the town.

Located in the three valleys and as a result there are so many runs you can do; including a lot of different coloured runs, lots of blue and red runs. Great restaurants to eat out, all family friendly.

Love les Trois Vallees
Lots of choice for runs
Great restaurants and apres ski
Not the cheapest but great atmosphere

Skied 5 seasons there. Snow days were great and blue bird days even better. Could just go out for cruisey blues or go out to challenge some blacks and off piste on the powdery days. Great ski area with loads to do and lots of places to eat!!

3V never fails to deliver - whatever the natural conditions the pistes are immaculate and lifts efficient. The off piste is in the lap of the gods!!

I’ve been going to Meribel with my family since 2000 and it’s by far the best place to go skiing. It has the biggest area to ski in that I have ever experienced - you really do have to go for a whole week to experience it all! The snow management means even on a low snow year there’s ample slopes to ski on. The chair lifts are a mixture of older ones and nice new (sometimes heated!) ones. The apres is incredible with a huge range of different places to go, our fave is Jacks Bar. The bus connections are great so you can stay close to the lifts or a bit further out with ease. A fave day trip is to ski to Val Thorens which can be done in a morning, stop for lunch then back to Meribel in time for apres!

I have skied in multiple other places across Europe and nothing has come close to the sheer size, beauty and fun that you get with Meribel.

V v excited to go back one day, once you go, it becomes home.

Amazing! Would recommend for families, friend groups, couples. Good skiing for all levels. 10/10 apres.

Meribel is AWESOME. As resorts go, it’s one of the best. The ski area of the three valleys is huge, and access to Val Thorens means that skiing well into the end of march is a possibility. Meribel is the perfect resort for families and skiiers who like a challenge (or those who like a bit of apres…) and is very easily navigable. Highly recommend it as a resort, especially someone looking to learn how to ski as there are tons of ski school companies and the instructors are lovely.

Meribel is a charming village with a good range of shops bars and restaurants. Its location means it’s easy to explore the three valleys. It has a good range of slopes.

Great resort. Great runs and caught in the last week of the season was a wonderful time, would recommend to all.

I've done three seasons their and it never fails to amaze me with how beautiful it is. The villages are all stunning and the runs leading into merible are breathtaking.

Great location for family ski trip with mixed ability group and facilities for non skiers. Kids had good lessons with ESF

Meribel is my happy place with access to the Three Valleys you have more than enough to ski, some great places to explore and back to Meribel at the end of the day for a pint or two.

Visited March with a group of friends and had the best time. Meribel is a very pretty town with good access to the slopes from the outer villages via the bus. The lifts were not crowded and ran smoothly. We went outside of the school holidays so it was naturally quieter on the slopes with less families. There is a good mix of runs and you can access all 3 valleys easily. The food and drink was very good, although slightly overpriced in some places, but overall high quality with lovely settings. Ski hire in the town was easy and of good quality. Will definitely go again.

Good resort for 3 Valleys being in the middle so really good links. Not the liveliest fir Après Ski and a lack of happy hours.

Get a guide there are so many good spots to find that you ski straight past otherwise and make sure you get at least one visit to foile deuce

Amazing resort and 3 valleys wins every time. Amazing runs and people and just love the whole place, recommend to anyone Looking for the whole package
