Meribel

Meribel, along with neighbours Courchevel and Val Thorens, forms the ski region known as 'Les Trois Vallées' in the Savoy alps. It falls within the borders of the Vanoise National Park.

The resort actually consists of three villages called Meribel Village, Meribel Centre, and Meribel-Mottaret.

Less 'overdeveloped' than many of the ski resorts in the alps, Meribel has managed to conserve its 'Alpine village' image quite well - as inspired by the founder of the village, a Scotsman who had the original conception for the resort before and after the second world war. Hence buildings in Meribel follow the traditional style of architecture for the region, of wood and stone.

Apart from skiing, there are several very popular bars and restaurants that will keep you amused late into the night, shops and boutiques, and other sports - from ice skating to snowmobiles - if you fancy a change from the quality slopes that surround the resort.

Meribel is now one of the most vibrant and popular ski resorts in the French Alps, while also being popular with larger ski groups, and tends to be popular from Christmas right through to the end of April.

Visitors can either stay within the Meribel area, or for a change of scenery there is easy access to the other resorts of the Three Valleys.
