Book your holiday
Pure elegance in the 3 Valleys
At the geographical heart of the 3 Valleys ski area, in the French Alps, Méribel is a village that blends perfectly into a tree-covered landscape to provide a friendly atmosphere. Built on the side of the mountain, it enjoys high levels of sunshine. The village is relatively spread out, made up of a number of different neighbourhoods, very well served by numerous free shuttle buses, with some accessible directly on skis.
Everything close at hand
Méribel is the resort for those who like to have everything within easy reach, day and night: tourist office, cinema, swimming pool, wellness centre, boutiques, bars, restaurants and nightclubs.
The Chaudanne neighbourhood
In the higher area, a stone’s throw from the hyper-centre, is the “Chaudanne” neighbourhood and its famous Olympic Park, where the valley’s biggest sporting and festive events are held.
