With a global reputation for world-class skiing, Méribel is one of the most popular ski resorts in the world. Its location, right at the heart of the largest ski area on Earth, the Three Valleys, is largely responsible for its success.

Several towns and villages come under the umbrella of the brand ‘Méribel’, and are linked by an efficient and free bus service. 

As with any resort, the best place to stay depends on who you’re travelling with, what you like to do, and how deep your pockets are. When it comes to booking accommodation in Meribel, there is certainly no shortage of choice. Whether you are looking for luxury hotels, chalets for large groups or apartments that are as close to the lifts as possible, you’ll find it all here.
