Residence les Ravines is located in the centre of Méribel, in the heart of Les Trois Vallées, France.
The ski lifts are a short walk away and within Residence les Ravines you will find both studios and apartments with everything needed for a comfortable ski holiday. After an active day on the slopes, you can unwind and relax in the sauna.
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.
If you book a ski trip to Méribel through Sunweb, your ski pass for all of Méribel Valley will be included. Unlock 70 runs and 42 ski lifts with just one card! Not enough piste for you? You can choose to expand this ski pass to the whole Les Trois Vallées ski area when booking. That way, you can explore the largest skiable area in the world whilst still saving money. Give yourself the ski holiday you deserve, with access to 600km of piste and 183 ski lifts.
After skiing, there’s still plenty to do in Méribel. The Mission Black Forest sledding adventure will give you stunning views of the surrounding peaks and snowy pine trees whilst you zoom down the slopes. 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. Snowboarders can freestyle at the Open Park snowpark, and skiers of all ages can work on their agility at the Bump’N’Jump fun zone. There’s also numerous activities you can take part in in Méribel, such as ice skating, swimming, snowmobiling, horse riding, and more.
