MERIBEL
- Introduction
Méribel is located in the fabulous Trois Vallees ski domain, and is part of the largest ski area in the world. The resort is split between 2 main villages, Meribel (1450m) and Mottaret (1710m) altitude. Méribel boasts an enormous number of beautifully designed chalets and chalet style apartments while Mottaret is a slightly more purpose built resort with a great selection of modern style apartments and hotels. Both resorts are extremely popular with British skiers and boarders, and have a strangely British feel to them, so much so that even the locals speak in English.The skiing in Méribel is fantastic and is a haven for beginner and intermediate skiers with all runs leading back to the main lifts and centre of resort. The pistes are generally wide, gentle and very well groomed and the upper slopes are perfect for intermediate and advanced skiers to stretch their legs. Both Méribel and Mottaret offer a never ending choice of easily accessible off piste slopes that cater for advanced and budding intermediate skiers.
