Meribel Overview

Meribel is a famous French ski resort that is part of the large Three Valleys ski area, which boasts 600 km of slopes.

Meribel is located right in the centre of the Three Valleys ski area and is the ideal destination for skiers of all levels. There are many easy slopes where beginners can gain confidence on skis, but this ski resort is particularly suitable for intermediate skiers, who will find the right terrain to improve their technique and have fun. More experienced skiers and freeride enthusiasts will find plenty of fresh powder to let loose off-piste and challenge themselves with new adrenaline-fuelled challenges.

It is not difficult to understand why it is one of the most popular resorts. In fact, Meribel is a typical mountain town, made up of characteristic wooden and stone chalets and surrounded by beautiful peaks, so while skiing or walking you will be surrounded by breathtaking views. It is a rather lively resort, ideal for those looking for fun in addition to skiing. In fact, there are many restaurants to choose from: most are quite expensive, but there are also some cheaper options. Meribel offers a very interesting après-ski and nightlife scene, as there are plenty of bars and clubs that come alive as soon as the ski lifts close and continue into the early hours of the morning.
