Meribel is at the heart of the Trois Vallees, the biggest ski area in the world with 600 kilometres of pistes. Meribel has its own extensive ski area that provides easy access to the ski runs of neighbouring Val Thorens, Courchevel and la Tania. The village of Meribel has a traditional alpine style with picturesque ski chalets constructed from local stone and timber. The lively centre of Meribel has plenty of shops, restaurants and bars giving a wide selection of apres ski and nightlife.
Meribel ski chalets: Ski Beat has 4 catered ski chalets in Meribel very close to each other in Mousillon, Meribel. These catered chalets are just a 10 minute stroll from the centre of Meribel and 200 metres from the ever-popular Dick’s T-Bar nightclub, a Meribel favourite: Chalet La Vieille Grange sleeps 10-12 (Select Service), Chalet Daurel sleeps 12-14 (new last season), and two 6-bed chalets being built for this winter - Chalet Adelphine & Chalet Emilie. Our fifth Meribel ski chalet, the Chalet de Meribel sleeps 10-12 and is located in the centre of Meribel a couple of minutes walk from the main shopping street with its choice of bars.
Meribel snow record: Meribel being part of the Three Valleys ski area has a very good snow record; it also has a huge number of snow making machines.
Skiing in Meribel: The Meribel valley offers a vast choice of pistes suited to all standards of skiers and snowboarders. Beginner skiers can enjoy the Altiport area above Meribel whilst leisurely skiers can take pleasure in the flattering boulevard pistes flanked by gourmet restaurants. There are plenty of challenging runs for intermediate and advanced skiers, whilst the notorious Courchevel couloirs over the ridge from Meribel and the Chanrossa bumps will keep even the most expert skier occupied. Meribel operates a very efficient ski lift system with plenty of snow cannons to ensure good snow coverage; along with excellent piste grooming and a sunny aspect it is difficult not to be impressed.
In the Meribel valley there are 8 green ski runs, 36 blue, 23 red and 9 blacks with loads more just over the hill from Meribel in the Trois Vallees: you have the whole of Courchevel and Val Thorens. For a detailed review of each ski run see our guide to skiing in Meribel or for those in Courchevel our guide to skiing in la Tania. Snowboarders in Meribel have the benefit of the Plattieres snowpark above Meribel Mottaret; freestylers have the Moonpark.
Meribel apres ski: Meribel offers a huge selection of après ski, there are bars and restaurants spread across the ski resort. Dick's T-Bar has always been popular and is just 200m from many of our Meribel ski chalets. The Olympic sports centre is only a few hundred metres from our Chalet de Meribel. The sports centre hosts top-level ice hockey matches as well as having a swimming pool, climbing wall and bowling alley. Also in this complex is Le Loft night club if you fancy dancing the night away after a hard day's skiing in Meribel.
