Meribel is in the middle of the Three Valleys - the biggest inter-linked winter sports area in the world. With 200 lifts and 600 km of slopes, and endless off-slope possibilities, it is difficult to be bored in a fortnight here. Fans of Courchevel and Val-Thorens sniff at Méribel's local slopes, but since Mont Vallon and the top of the valley were opened up some years ago, Méribel can stand comparison on most counts.
Méribel is built entirely in tasteful chalet-style, with wood siding everywhere. And the center is very pleasant with raised walkways by the shops above the one-way road. The village has grown rapidly in recent years and now spreads widely over the mountainside. It is very popular with British visitors, many of whom own chalets here. And English can be more commonly heard than French on the slopes and in the bars. It remains decidedly upscale and it's not cheap. But regular visitors love it and wouldn't be seen anywhere else.
Meribel has some excellent Chalets, Hotels and Apartments. Meribel has more chalets dedicated to the British market than any other resort with approximately 50 operators offering them. Meribel has the largest number of luxury rental chalets of any resort in the Alps, many of which are privately owned and not part of any tour operator’s portfolio. What really distinguishes the Méribel chalets from others is the range of luxurious chalets with drivers that whisk their clients to and from the slopes.
Meribel plays host to a variety of winter activities and snow sports during the winter months. Whether your looking for the high octane adrenalin buzz of sliding around the ice of the Olympic ice skating rink in a go-kart. Speeding up and down the pistes at dusk or under moonlight on a snowmobile or flying high in the clear blue skies over white snow capped mountains in a helicopter
