Méribel Reviews & Ratings

Very busy during New Years week! very icy runs. but lots of skiing and the size of 3 valleys meant you could follow the sun all day. expenisve but nice. no skiing under trees. most of the available off piste was not super interesting - just to the side of the pisted runs.

Lift baguettes for lunch save money for apres head to the ronnie for apres
Pierre for ski school.
January is frezzzing!!!

Amazing place, brilliantly located for all 3 valleys skiing. Excellent and efficient lift system with minimal waiting times.

I have had something like 140 ski holidays outwith the UK in the last 40 years and the 3 valleys especially Meribel is the only place I can return to time and time again and not get bored!
No matter what the weather and snow conditions I will find somewhere interesting to ski as I know the area well. I now always stay in the Meribel valley as it gives easy access to the other valleys and of course there are now 4 valleys including Orelle.
Pre Brexit and Covid I could find good last minute chalet holidays but these are expensive now so I always self-cater and there are all sorts of possibilities depending on what you want and where you wish to stay. There is an excellent free bus service linking parts of the Meribel resort which runs late into the evening.
I visit with my husband but family members work there as independant instructors and the whole family visit regularly - resort is great for families as there are lots of additional activities.
I go to ski on piste so cannot rate snowparks or offpiste from personal use but they are available. I also cannot rate apres and I spend evenings with my family.
I,age shows Mont Vallon at teh end of Meribel valley with one of my favourite red runs.

Great resort with access to whole 3 valleys ski area, giving great range of slopes. Great skiing despite late in season. Lovely spots to stop for lunch or a drink. All the mountain restaurants are pretty expensive but if you look around you can get snacks for more reasonable amounts.

First time visiting Meribel. Decent resort. Usual do ski in ski out but not this time. Bit inconvenient but not the worst. Easy access to lifts from our apartment. Resort is clean, lots of options for food and drinks and a few supermarkets. Decent runs for all abilities. 3 valleys lift pass is the best option I'd say as you can visit val thorens and courchevell if you want. If you want to stay closer to home then just get the meribel pass. Would visit again.

February half term 2026. Unprecedented snow, incredible conditions. Unfortunately interconnecting lifts to the 3 valleys were closed however plenty of runs to choose from in Méribel. Some slopes were very quiet despite the time of year! Fab restaurants on the pistes.

Meribel village had great access to the the whole of the 3 valleys, situated between Courchevel And Val Thorens it had easy and direct access to either resorts. The atmosphere in meribel village is very bouchi which makes it a great place to eat/ drink and bring family

We absolutely loved our time in Meribel. We stayed in a chalet not far from the slope. All in all we loved the variety of slopes and how much we were able to ski even though the snow wasn’t great that week. The Apres ski was lots of fun!

Expensive but not crazy. Fortunate that I didn’t have to pay accommodation but food and drink generally reasonable. Great skiing, lucky weather for the time of year

Great resort with access to Val thorens and courchevel.

Staying in meribel centre there was lots of bars and places to eat with free bus transport near our stay.

Great bars and atmosphere with good live music Jacks bar for example. Folie and other bars along the slope made Amazing apres and would definitley return.

Amazing trip highly recommend great runs sometimes very busy but overall fun!

The red runs were brilliant even if I’m not at that level they were more quite

Best experience one of my favourite resorts. Some of the best apre ski and being in the three valleys makes it easy to cross over wide variety

Meribel is a fantastic resort, I love the ease of getting into other valleys and the vast amount of skiing you can cover in one day.

My favourite run is the red from Meribel to Courcheval, it’s where I got my top speed on Slopes, it was 79.9 so I’d love to return to get this to 80 at least.

We went as a group of 19 and had an amazing time at Apres! Meribel isn’t the best for beginner skiers but it is just a short ski to Courcheval which was a bit more beginner friendly. I would 100% go back just for Ronnies alone x

Great slopes and lots of snow year round. Good options for runs in terms of level. Great options for dinners and drinks out with friends and family

Great resort lots of great long runs for all levels. Great off piste options and very good snow levels all the way to the end of season.

A great place for skiing and snowboarding. Great apres but not great value. Parks and boarder cross very fun and well maintained.

Our first time skiing the three valleys and we absolutely loved it! We’re a large mixed group of snowboarders and skiers. We stayed in Meribel Mottaret which is a much quieter part of the resort, this suited us well as we were in a catered chalet so didn’t need lots of dinner options. The free shuttle bus from Meribel centre was really easy and only takes a few minutes, there are lots of bar and restaurant options there. Our favourite apres spots on the slopes were Folie Douce (of course) and Rond Point.

We found a good mix of slopes around the Meribel area to suit everyone in our group and really easy to make it across to Val Thorens and Courchevel even for the beginners in our group. Majority of getting around is on gondolas which we found quite different to lots of other resorts. We did queue for lifts/gondolas a little bit as we were there the last week of Feb, but the lines move really fast and it is easy to head to quieter areas where there are no queues.

Meribel is beautiful. We stayed at the hotel above Jacks so access to ski lifts was super easy and quick. The skiing was also brilliant as had access to all of the 3 valleys. Unfortunately we had a lot of lift closures due to wind and this made certain pistes very busy. There are lots of fancy hotels in Meribel and not many casual bar options. Really loved the bar fifty 50 but it is tiny so difficult to get in for après ski!
