Discover Meribel

Set in the centre of the Three Valleys, Europe's largest linked ski area, skiing in Méribel offers endless opportunities with easy access to the resorts of Courchevel and Val Thorens in the neighbouring valleys. The beautiful wooden chalet buildings of Méribel make this one of one of France's most attractive ski resorts and one of the most popular.

Meribel has been awarded the Family Plus label which makes this resort an excellent choice for families as many of the hotels, restaurants and ski areas have kept children in mind. 

With a central location in the Three Valleys, Méribel has excellent access to the largest linked ski area. With 600km of marked pistes you won't be short of areas to explore, and if you do try to make sure you book one of the accommodations with wellness facilities to rejuvenate. There is some amazing skiing in the valley, including the Women's Downhill run and up at the Mont du Vallon and the legendary 'Face' run used for the 1992 Winter Olympics. If speeding down competition-worthy slopes isn't your thing there are also plenty of cruisy blue and red runs throughout the resort. The fun zones in Méribel have been upgraded with the new 'Bump'N'Jump' fun zone with three separate runs with various jumps, boxes and boardercross sections -  accessible via the Legends chairlift and Arpasson ski lift.

The Olympic Park is a sport complex which includes a swimming pool, an ice rink, an indoor climbing wall, as well as a spa and a fitness area. Perfect for when it is just a bit to snowy to go on the mountain. Ice hockey matches in the Olympic Park take place every Tuesday night.

Known as “parapenting” in France, you can take to the skies and glide over the Méribel mountains where there are spectacular panoramic views of the Three Valleys.
