Skiing in Méribel

In the heart of the Les Trois Vallées ski area in France, you will find the charming Méribel village. It encompasses three neighbouring parts: Méribel Village, Méribel Centre, and Méribel-Mottaret. It ranges from 1450 – 2952 metres elevation, giving you plenty of snow during your ski holiday. Those who choose the bigger ski area of Méribel for their ski holiday are treated to endless slopes, cosy mountain restaurants, and the perfect blend of atmosphere and ski experience.

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 districts, 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.
