Méribel Centre

Located at the geographic center of the world's largest ski area, Méribel is the beating heart of the 3 Valleys. Its location is strategic: it is the only resort that allows you to switch effortlessly to Courchevel, Val Thorens, or Les Menuires with just one ski lift. But Méribel is above all an aesthetic feat. Unlike many purpose-built resorts, it has imposed a strict architectural style since its creation in 1938: no concrete blocks, only wood and stone chalets with slate roofs. It is the perfect blend of Austrian village charm and world-class French skiing, offering discreet international elegance.

5 Districts, 5 Faces, 1 Legend Méribel is experienced through its 5 distinct districts, tiered from 1100m to 1750m altitude: Méribel-Les Allues (1100m): The historic and authentic capital, connected to the ski area by the Olympe gondola. Méribel Village (1400m): The intimate hamlet with its central square, famous bakery, and direct access to the slopes via the Golf chairlift. Méribel Centre (1450m): The hub of the resort. This is where everything happens: the tourist office, vibrant nightlife, shops, and the Chaudanne snow front. Méribel Les Hauts (Altiport): The quiet, residential ski-in/ski-out district, located on the edge of the forest and bathed in sunshine. Méribel-Mottaret (1750m): The summit of the resort. This is the ultimate "ski-in/ski-out" spot, offering the fastest access to the 600 km of slopes of the 3 Valleys and guaranteed snow cover.

Mont Vallon and the Nature Reserve On the slopes, Méribel offers varied and sunny skiing. The iconic peak is Mont Vallon (2952m), offering breathtaking views of the Vanoise glaciers and two of the most beautiful red runs in the Alps (Combe du Vallon and Campagnol). The resort is also home to the Tueda Nature Reserve, a jewel of biodiversity with its frozen lake and Arolla pines, accessible by cross-country skiing or snowshoeing. Chic, sporty, and ideally located, Méribel is the resort that has it all.
