Méribel

Méribel is the only base from which you can reach Courchevel, Val Thorens and the Belleville valley in a single day on skis

the Mont du Vallon cable car climbs to Méribel's highest point for the longest

cross the Méribel–Courchevel ridge at La Saulire and drop into the glossiest valley in the Alps for a mountain-restaurant lunch, then ski home

cross Mont de la Chambre west into the Belleville valley and reach Val Thorens/Orelle glacier terrain at up to 3,230 m

ski the very slope the world's best women raced at the 2023 FIS Alpine World Ski Championships — a genuine bucket-list descent with pedigree

base at Méribel-Mottaret, the valley's highest and most snow-sure quarter, for true ski-in/ski-out access to the whole domain

string Courchevel, Méribel, Brides-les-Bains, Les Menuires, Saint-Martin-de-Belleville, Val Thorens and Orelle across a week from one central base with a private instructor

the men's Olympic ice-hockey rink is now a family leisure complex at the heart of the resort

Méribel's own valley carries 8 green + 36 blue runs, a genuinely family-friendly progression before you ever cross a ridge

the classic Méribel family week — take over a chalet with staff who cook, clean and shuttle you to the lifts

the linked area has 37 fun slopes and snowparks — boardercross, kids' zones and freestyle terrain

the 55-key Le Coucou sits piste-side in Belvédère at 1,600 m with two private connected chalets, restaurants and spa

the 5-star L'Hélios offers 18 rooms and suites, two restaurants, a bar, a spa and a ski shop in the heart of the valley

the top of the Méribel chalet market — a whole staffed luxury chalet for a family or friends group

a small catered chalet taken for two — a private chef cooking dinner by the fire after a day on the snow

with 53 high-altitude restaurants across the domain, a long sunny lunch on a piste-side terrace — Méribel or over the ridge in Courchevel

cap a ski day with a five-star spa and a quiet dinner for two — the low-key luxury romance layer inside a Méribel stay

March delivers the best mix of snow, sun and long days across the 3 Vallées, in a calmer, softer-light window than the February crush

Méribel carried the 1992 Olympic ice hockey and women's Alpine, and the 2023 World Championship women's races on the Roc de Fer

the sheer scale of Les 3 Vallées makes it a premier off-piste and ski-touring canvas

from June to September the lift-served 3 Vallées becomes a high-alpine hiking network at around 20 °C

the summer programme includes mountain biking across the valley's lift-served terrain — a green-season adrenaline layer for active families and groups

ride the summer lifts to high viewpoints for big-mountain panoramas without the climb — the easy, scenic green-season set-piece for all ages

the Olympic Park's pool, spa and gym give a public wellness option for tired legs — the accessible recovery half-day inside a ski week

the luxury spa layer — sauna, pool, massage after big domain days — built into the ski-in/ski-out five-stars

Brides-les-Bains, the lowest of the seven linked resorts, is a valley-floor spa town on the same lift network

the linked domain carries 53 mountain restaurants — from rustic mid-mountain huts to gastronomic terraces

the Méribel signature — dinner cooked and served in your own chalet by a resident chef
