The Skiers' Guide to Méribel

Skied Meribel several times. Access to the 3 vallees in fantastic.
Can bet congested in the morning bur queues move quickly.
Great mountain restaurants and although we were in a catered chalet on the night out we had plenty of choice.
Now with the 4th valley you can ski all day and not use the same piste or off piste twice.

Loved Meribel. Good middle point to access Val Thorens and Courchevel for a week. Great runs around the Valley to keep you busy, and the aprés is grand!

The affordability of this ski holiday was cheaper than neighbouring ski resorts like Austria and Switzerland and was certainly a popular choice for a beginner. The accommodation was ideal, competitively priced near to the slopes. Eating out was a little expensive. It is always useful to try indoor slopes like the Snowdome, Tamworth which we used to try before booking this type of holiday.

Great selection of runs across the three valleys with easy access to Courcheval and Val Thorens. So many cute restaurants and cafes to visit.

Absolutely bangin places to eat and drink on and off the piste!
Meribel Mottaret terrain park is good and ever changing so you dont get bored if youre there lol season! Plenty boxes, rails and medium jumps, bigger jumps are generally added through the seasons as conditions improve.

The Apres ski is top notch, Catch a party at the Ronnie or at Jacks at the end of your ski day, theres always something going on!

The skiing is unreal, amazing pistes and groomers all throughout the valley.
Ski schools will take you down a variety of pistes Within the valley, new generation in particular love to focus on the journey and enjoying skiing in different conditions as opposed to skills and drill, doing is the best learning.

Off piste options are decent if you get a good dump but dont expect much if the snow cover isnt great, once theres been a massive drop of snow you can expect some seriously deep powder in places, under the toungnette lift in particular.
Overall Id say its a mint resort with options for everyone from beginner to advanced, skiers and snowboarders as well as non riders

Hope this helps! Enjoy your skiing!!

Great resort linked to 3 valleys, massive ski area and apres ski is great! Not loads of mogul runs

Meribel is a great resort set at the heart of the 3 Valleys, lots of additional features like swimming pool, ice rink and climbing wall. Great nightlife to follow a great day out on the slopes, so much choice with access to over 650km of groomed slopes.

Great access to a variety of skiing - easy links to Courchevel & Val Thorens, offering different types of skiing depending on conditions etc. Meribel skiing is good - but can be busy at times, being in the centre of the 3V's. Great lift system manages traffic though.

Great nightlife, fairly anglo-centric, lots of shops and non-skiing activities.

Relatively easy access - though the journey by road from Geneva is fairly long. Good train access to Moutiers.

Awesome resort with incredible choice of skiing for all levels, some fantastic powder days, and brilliant apres and resort life. Resort is beautiful swiss-chalet style so full of charm and good bars and restaurants. Ten out of Ten.

Unbelievable resort -

From the apres bars to the skiing, Meribel really does cater for absolutely everything and every one. I did a season there for 6 months and have been back four times.

Level of skiing - amazing off piste, but take a guide with you for safety! Also a great place for beginners at Altiport. Highly recommend a session at Le Rond Point after a hard day of skiing.
