Meribel Ski Holidays

France France

Two linked resorts in the heart of the Three Valleys, Meribel and Mottaret make the perfect base for skiers wanting to explore this famous area.

The Meribel villages are as pretty as they sound. Mottaret where the Tarentaise chalehotel is situated, is a modern but attractive timber clad village higher up the valley, whilst in Meribel, the Chalet Loden sits peacefully amongst the trees looking down towards the centre of the village. 

Both villages are ideal for skiers who want variety: over 200 lifts serving 600km of well-kept pistes you can ski all week without fear of repetition, this is intermediate heaven. Beginners have plenty of uncrowded nursery slopes at both village level and higher up and experts can tackle the infamous Courchevel couloirs and Chanrossa bumps. Forest runs down the valley are inviting on low visibility days while sunny conditions suit expeditions to Val Thorens, Europe's highest resort.

Mottaret has a choice of bars and restaurants including Le Rastro which always has a good buzz. Meribel, easily reached by the free resort bus, has an indoor swimming pool, ice-skating rink and Turkish baths. Lively apres-ski at the Rondpoint Bar never disappoints with live music most days from 4:30pm onwards.
