Meribel Chalets

Méribel is one of the most iconic ski destinations in the French Alps, renowned for its beautiful chalets and hotels, excellent dining, vibrant après ski, and of course, world class skiing across the Three Valleys. Known as the heart of the Three Valleys, Méribel is the perfect base to access the whole ski area with it being just one lift over to Courchevel or three lifts over to Val Thorens.

For those who like to follow the sun, ski the Tougnete side in the morning and move across to Saulire in the afternoon. This is ideal for maximising sunshine and it also conveniently places you near La Folie Douce just in time for apres ski.

On the subject of après, Méribel’s apres ski scene is every bit as celebrated as its skiing. For lively, piste side parties, La Folie Douce is an unmissable stop, while Le Rond Point (known affectionately as The Ronnie) and Jack’s Bar are adored for their energetic atmosphere and ski boot dancing.

While the skiing is the main draw, Méribel’s charm extends far beyond the slopes. Set amidst alpine forests and built in traditional Savoyard style, it is one of the most picturesque ski resorts in France. Wooden chalets with stone facades line the streets, giving the village a warm, authentic mountain feel.

Off the mountain, visitors can explore stylish boutiques, cosy cafés, and excellent restaurants, or unwind with a rejuvenating spa day at Hotel Le Kaila or Hotel Le Coucou.

It is worth noting that Méribel is not a single village but a collection of smaller hamlets, each with its own distinct character and appeal, however you will find Méribel Centre at its heart. This is where you will find he tourist office, a variety of boutiques, restaurants, and sports shops, as well as convenient access to the lifts from the resort’s main central plaza “La Chaudanne”.
