The largest and most widely known part of the Méribel resort at 1,450m - 1,700m
Méribel is the biggest and best known village in the valley with the widest selection of bars, restaurants and shops. Famous for its picture postcard chalets and chalet style apartment buildings and hotels, Méribel has retained all the charm of a traditional mountain village with its wood and stone buildings and forest setting. Fast, modern ski lifts offer easy access to the Méribel valley ski area (150km of pistes) and the three Valleys (600km of pistes).
The village lies on the side of the mountain and therefore receives plenty of sunshine. It stretches from 1,450m at the centre to 1,700m at the Altiport area. The village is relatively spread out and is composed of numerous areas, each with its own character. Some areas offer direct access to the slopes and all are well served by frequent, free buses.
