In the heart of the Les Trois Vallées ski area in France, you will find the charming Méribel ski resort. It encompasses three neighbouring villages: Méribel Village, Méribel Centre, and Méribel-Mottaret. The resort ranges from 1450 – 2952 metres elevation, giving you plenty of snow during your ski holiday.
Méribel-Mottaret’s chalet-style buildings give it the authentic look you’d expect from a ski village. There are some great àpres-ski bars and terraces there, such as La Tarantaise and Le Downtown, and a handful of nice shops. However, the best shops and bars can be found in Méribel Centre, which has a bustling, cosmopolitan atmosphere. You can also find many excellent restaurants there, so don’t miss out on trying the delicious regional specialties. Méribel-Village is the quietest of the three, perfect for a relaxing ski holiday. Its car-free streets are particularly great for families, giving the children a safe space to play and explore.
A Méribus shuttle runs between the three villages, so you can get around with ease. These busses run seven days a week, from early in the morning until late at night. You can find the bus timetables displayed at each bus stop or on the Méribus website.

La Piste des Animaux is a fun and educational ski trail for families with children. It’s a great spot for the kids to practice their skiing skills whilst learning about the local wildlife.
