Méribel’s ski area: a jewel at the heart of les 3 Vallées

The history of the Méribel ski area began in the 1930s. Since then, the villages have always expanded with respect for the environment and the authenticity so dear to the 3 Valleys.

Because the valley's inhabitants have always ensured that the mountains are not denatured, when you come to spend your vacation in the Méribel ski resort, you'll be surrounded mainly by wood and stone. What do the people of Méribel want? To live in harmony with nature and let you enjoy it while you're here.

The Méribel area has also had the immense pleasure of hosting a number of major events, such as the 1992 Albertville Olympic Games, and more recently, the women's events of the Courchevel-Méribel 2023 Alpine World Ski Championships.

Whether you stay in Méribel-Mottaret, Méribel center or Méribel village, you'll be immersed in a soothing atmosphere that's a welcome break from the daily grind. In Méribel village, you'll see prestigious chalets at the foot of the forest and rediscover the authenticity of a mountain village: an opportunity to stock up on souvenirs with the small local shopkeepers who will welcome you with open arms.

In Méribel center, the atmosphere is quite different: the area is very lively. This is where all our event gatherings take place, but you'll also find stores, restaurants and even a swimming pool.

On the Méribel-Mottaret side, you'll enjoy a more family-friendly atmosphere: this is the resort's highest village. Ready for an unforgettable skiing experience?
