Méribel Reviews & Ratings

A brilliant resort for a family. Access to so much terrain from the centre (meribel valley had enough to ski on for at least a week) but it was also great that there was the option to explore the other two valleys of Courcheval and Val Thorens. Conditions of snow was great too, especially as a beginner/intermediate, there were plenty of groomed runs that never got too difficult even at the end of the day. Going in the first full week of Jan was great, very empty resort so never queues for the lifts, all staff were friendly and plenty of options for apres and food (although I will say everything was very expensive). Would definitely go back!

Nice resort, lots of things to do and some interesting bars on the mountain. Accommodation is varied and can get a good price. With the ski school and the nursery the lifts can get busy but once youre away from the main billiard its easy skiing!

Was a lovely resort, stayed on the main street right next to the ski lift. Plenty of pubs and restaurants for afterwards. Slopes were amazing. Maps where very easy to read and getting about was fairly easy considering how big the area is. Can access courchavel and St thornes which made for epic trails for hours on end

Good place for apres and to get to explore the whole three valleys. Snow quality is pretty poor compared to courcheval and val Thorens, however its not as busy as val thorens.

Great! We went as a large group in a catered chalet. Brilliant resort with so much choice of runs, food/drinks for apres and supermarkets for shopping. The only thing was that the snow wasnt great when we were there so there was ALOT of Ice. So had to go to different resorts higher up. But other than that, amazing and would return.

If is lovely place to see lots of slopes Skiing in Méribel, France, is a fantastic experience due to its prime location in the heart of the renowned Three Valleys, the largest ski area in the world. With over 600km of interconnected slopes, it caters to all levels, from beginners to advanced skiers. Méribels traditional chalet-style architecture creates a charming alpine atmosphere, while its modern facilities ensure a seamless experience. The resort offers stunning panoramic views, excellent après-ski options, and easy access to nearby ski resorts. Additionally, Méribel boasts well-maintained pistes, efficient lifts, and diverse activities, making it an ideal destination for winter sports enthusiasts and families alike.

Meribel is an excellent ski area that seems caters for everyone. We usually go in a big group of mixed ability and there is plenty for all- as well as lovely options on places to stay and brilliant apres.

Second time back to Méribel and we loved it! The Three Valleys offer numerous ski-ing options so that you will never be bored! Lively apres ski and lots of choices for food options too. Will definitely go back again.

Skied in the three valleys a few times. Meribel is my favourite. Caters to all. Has a bit of everything and anyone can enjoy their holiday there.

Centrally located in an enormous ski area best place for the 3 valleys. Great restaurants and very pretty traditional buildings

As a first time skier Meribel was a great intro to the slopes. The option to ski over to Courchevel or VT also made the resort feel bigger than it was. Folie Douce in Meribel also meant a quick blue run down the slopes to finish.

I am an intermediate level skier and I had a great time in Meribel. With the option to also go across to courchevel too, there was a lot of variety. There are great mid day stops for food and drinks; Stunning views and plenty to do for non skiers too. The pistes were well maintained, at the time we went last year there had been very little snow fall, but we still had a great time skiing. Occasionally icy in places, but likely as a result of no snow fall.

Always a great place to go , often a little quieter than other areas of the three valleys .
Loads of little great places to eat and drink.
Not far from meribel is mottaret and there is the Olympics ski park so if you're stuck to do there's ice skating and more activities there too.

Great all round resort. A variety of difficulties in slopes and easy to get over to Courchevel and Val Thorens from the top. A mix of different terrains and aspects with Village and Altiport being more treelined whereas Centre is a bit more open. Good Apres options at Rond Point and Folie Douce. Only slight drawback Id say is the length of the queues first thing in the morning at the Chaudanne but once youre up the mountain its definitely worth it.

Three valleys means huge ski areas but a lot of blue and green runs.

The blacks are not the hardest and very few of them

Les 3 valles is a great resort, however? The weather could be tricky. Food options are a bit limited in comparison to resprts in Austria and Italy. Apreski is good, however, you better go down from the mountain or stay on Val thrones

LE PLUS GRAND DOMAINE SKIABLE AU MONDE
Great resort for everyone
Reasonably hard runs and it can get very busy especially in the holidays.

I haven't been to many different ski resorts around the globe because I keep finding that Meribel delivers everything I need every year. As part of the 3 Valleys, it is part of the biggest ski piste area in Europe. In the four separate years I've been to Meribel I still discover new runs that I haven't been on before! Although this is a very popular resort, you can always find space for yourself on the wider runs or getting up early to travel further afield in a day. If you're getting up early my recommendation is to drop in to Maison Braissand Les Glaciers in the middle of town. A nice warm pastry to have on the first lift up is the best way to start the day. The lifts out from the centre rarely have queues and so when my friends and I enjoy a long red run or miss the ski in entrance to Le Rond Point (which has happened more than once!), you can easily and quickly get the lift back up. All the restaurants are similar prices and booking a reservation would be recommended. My friends aren't the best planners, so when we've finally decided to get some dinner we have walked in trying to get a table for four. Usually having to wait for a table to clear or sometimes we have just timed it right. I haven't ever experienced ski stealing, but to be cautious we always swap a ski with each other in our group and this has been enough to ward off the opportunistic bunch! With all things considered Meribel accommodates all levels of snow-goers, families and apres chasers. It really is the best all round ski resort I have been to and I will be booking another trip this year with the massive snowfall they've had this season! :)

Snowboarded here a few years ago, before I had done much snowboarding. The runs are pretty good for it, very open and not too steep so great for learning.
The food and actual station was beautiful and good with a group of friends. We didn't do much apres but I had heard good things about that too.

Great base for exploring the three valleys.
Had a really good experience with Oxygene ski school.
The Black Forest luge is well worth a go for something different
