Méribel sits in the middle of the famous Three Valleys ski area and has always insisted on chalet-style architecture, making it one of the most picturesque resorts in the French Alps. The resort has mostly been built with intermediate skiers in mind, with intentional ease of access to the neighboring valleys, creating an total ski area of 600 km.
The skiing and snowboarding terrain in the Meribel Valley is magnificent, with steep powder-filled pistes, tight chutes and natural gullies, fast mogul runs, and a total of 150 kilometres of long groomed trails and beginner runs. The Valley is served by a fast and efficient lift system, enabling exploration of the entire Three Valleys.
The town itself is located at 1450m but lifts can take you as high as 3200m allowing all levels of skier to make the most of the conditions at higher altitudes. As part of the Three Valleys, Meribel is connected to Val Thorens, the highest resort in Europe, making this area one of the best for snow conditions.
Situated 2 hours from Chamberry and 3 hours from Geneva, Meribel is an easy resort to reach by air. If flying is not for you, Moutiers train station is a mere 30 minute transfer.
