On the Slopes
Most won’t even need to explore the other valleys, but if you’re a keen intermediate upwards then it will add another dimension to your holiday this winter.
Méribel is the ideal resort for a chalet holiday, with a huge choice of tour operators calling this resort home. Unlike many other purpose-built resorts, it has been tastefully designed, with wood-clad buildings the norm and not the exception. There is a lively après scene – Le Rond Point and the Folie Douce are the hotspots – but this is also a good resort for families.
A modern lift system whisks skiers and boarders around a vast network of pistes. Most are best suited to beginners and intermediates but in the form of Mont Vallon in particular, Méribel has some great terrain for advanced and expert skiers, including two new red runs in the Roc de Fer area this year. The location at the heart of the Three Valleys makes access to Courchevel and Val Thorens super quick and easy.
For Beginners
For Intermediates
For Advanced/Expert & Off Piste
More experienced skiers and boarders have the entire Three Valleys playground at their disposal, which after fresh snow opens up a huge range of terrain. The altitude usually preserves the snow in good condition, but parts of the Méribel valley are prone to strong sunshine which can alter the snow’s condition.
Méribel’s jewel in its crown is Mont Vallon, a vast playground with two steep groomed runs and a huge expanse of ready-to-ski off piste. The 2018 upgrades to the Mont Vallon gondola have been a great improvement – significantly cutting queues and making the journey up much quicker.
In the Resort
For a purpose-built resort, Méribel is much more attractive than most, especially its near neighbour Val Thorens. A lot of accommodation is in chalets, many of which are catered and run by British tour operators – this is the ideal place to try your first chalet holiday experience. There are two bases to chose from, with Mottaret being higher and more snowsure, but it is also home to some of the bigger accommodation blocks.
For Families
Méribel is a good choice for families, especially those wanting a chalet holiday – most of which will specially cater for children. The nursery slopes are nearby and the sunny aspect of the resort is a bonus during mid-winter when other ski areas can be cold. Off the slopes, the swimming pool is good for a cold, snowy day and there is even an opportunity for children to build their own igloo – contact the tourist office.
For Après
Méribel comes alive as the lifts begin to close and the resort has a very vibrant après scene. Le Rond Point is usually a focal point and there is raucous live music and table dancing seven nights a week – head there between 5-6.30 to see it at its liveliest. Add in the Folie Douce and numerous bars and clubs in town, and you can really see why this resort is high on the list for those looking to party.
Getting to Méribel
Chambéry is the closest airport to Méribel and private transfers are the best option – the drive takes around an hour and a half. Geneva is further away, with the drive taking around two and a half hours.
A great option is to travel by train, catching the Eurostar and TGV to the town of Moûtiers in the valley before grabbing a quick bus transfer up to the resort. Check out the Ski Club’s Guide to travelling to resort by train.
- Chambéry airport: 1.5 hours (driving)
- Geneva airport: 2.5 hours (driving)
- Train: 8-10 hours from London
- Calais: approximately 11 hours driving (598 miles)

France
Updated 15/04
Winter seemingly returns to the French Alps this week, with temperatures dropping and snow falling across many areas. After the freezing line peaks at 3,000m on Tuesday, this drops back to 1,750m across most of the French Alps on Wednesday and THursday, as unsettled weather and precipitation return to the region. This will bring a around a foot of snow to areas above this elevation through the middle of this week.
After a brief pause – which will see the odd fleck of sun and the freezing line climbing to 2,500m – the freezing line then takes a long walk off a short pier, plummeting to 500m overnight Saturday into Sunday. A belt of snow will hit the region, too, bringing around half-a-foot to most elevations. This will be an incredibly useful top up to lower elevations that have, perhaps, struggled in recent spring conditions.
High pressure means Sunday should be fairly clear, but more unsettled weather and snow moves in through the new week.
