Méribel is renowned for its picturesque alpine charm, central location within the world-class Les Trois Vallées ski area, and traditional chalet architecture. With fantastic resort infrastructure and a state-of-the-art lift system to both Courchevel and Val Thorens, Méribel is a favourite for skiers who want convenience, beauty and endless terrain.

Méribel’s ski season usually runs from early December to late April, depending on snow conditions. With elevations up to 2,952m and strong snowmaking coverage, the resort maintains excellent snow reliability throughout winter. Spring brings longer, sunnier days - ideal for relaxed skiing and terrace lunches.

Yes, Méribel is a fantastic resort for families. It offers gentle beginner slopes, dedicated learning zones, and a range of excellent ESF and international ski schools catering to children and adults alike. Off the slopes, there are fun non-skiing activities like toboggan runs, indoor play areas, and family-friendly dining.

That really depends on your desired ski holiday vibe! Both ski resorts are part of Les Trois Vallées, so you can ski between them easily - but they do offer different vibes.

Courchevel is known for luxury, Michelin-starred dining, and upscale shopping, while Méribel offers a more authentic alpine village atmosphere, great après-ski, and a central location. Méribel is often preferred by those seeking charm and accessibility to both sides of the ski domain.
