THE THREE VALLEYS
Méribel
Méribel lies at the heart of The Three Valleys ski resort and is an extremely popular village, not only because of its excellent location and access to snow-sure skiing, but also it’s lively yet laid-back atmosphere. Ideal for families, friends or corporate groups alike, the variety of pistes suits beginners through to experts. With the largest linked area in Europe to explore, there are more kilometres of skiing than most legs can cope with in a week!
This variety continues through the bars and restaurants of the bustling village; La Folie Douce, renowned for lively après ski, a smattering of Michelin-starred establishments, and the many charmingly traditional Savoyarde restaurants there is genuinely something for everyone. For those not skiing, there are accessible walks or hikes, mountain restaurants to access via the gondolas, and the stunning vistas of the Tarentaise valley to marvel at. Méribel is a pretty alpine village with a bustling high street, featuring gorgeous interior shops, excellent cafes and a range of ski wear boutiques. The twice-weekly market is ideal for picking up souvenirs and sampling local gastronomic delights. For the quintessential alpine experience, why not explore the area from the comfort of a private horse-drawn sleigh…
