Five shades of Meribel

What we like in Meribel

The Meribel area, rising from 1100 to 1700 meters above sea level, offers many faces to visitors, such as the villages that comprise it.

Below, Meribel Les Allues features postcard-worthy town decor, complete with its charming hamlets. A timeless parenthesis and a gentle way of life that attracts customers seeking alpine authenticity in France.

Meribel Village, situated at an altitude of 1,400 meters, is the youngest member of the larger Meribel family. Emerging at the end of the 1990s, the village has developed in a way that honours the pure Savoyard tradition, preserving its heritage, which includes a few scattered sheepfolds. Life in Meribel Village revolves around its sunny central square, filled with shops and outdoor terraces, creating a lively atmosphere.

At an altitude of 1500 metres, Meribel Centre offers everything that visitors expect from a prestigious resort.

The Olympic Park, which hosts various sporting events, adds to the appeal of this central location in Meribel. Here, you can entertain yourself and enjoy your mountain getaway both day and night, making the most of your holidays.

If you love peace and nature, you'll appreciate the stunning panoramic views of the Alps from Meribel le Haut, situated 100 meters above the town centre. This area is home to the altiport, the first airstrip established in a French winter sports resort, built in 1961. Its tranquillity and spacious surroundings create an ideal environment for Nordic activities in winter, as well as golf and hiking in the summer.

Dedicated skiers will undoubtedly prefer the slopes at Meribel-Mottaret, situated at an altitude of 1,750 meters. This resort offers the significant advantage of easy access to the impressive 3 Valleys ski area via its ski lifts. With its charm, practicality, ideal weather conditions, and stunning views of Mont-Vallon, this village stands out as an exceptional ski destination.

Recognized high-end services

Meribel is truly remarkable, and it never fails to make visitors' hearts race with excitement.

Several quality labels have been awarded to it in recent years, underscoring the excellence of its tourist services.

Meribel takes great pride in what it offers its visitors. In addition to the many independent labels that set it apart, the resort has established its own brand through its Tourist Office, called Label Meribel. This initiative aims to promote holiday accommodations that have a Savoyard character, complete with charm and a cosy atmosphere, which is unique to traditional wooden chalets.

Meribel aims to be a unique resort, offering an extraordinary experience that begins with a welcoming and warm setting, complemented by charming accommodations, which has also enabled it to obtain the 'Station village de charme' label.

The resort prioritises family-friendly services and has received the Famille Plus label for its offerings to children and their parents.

Meribel is part of one of the largest ski areas in the world, which has earned it the Station Grands Domaines label for its exceptional and nearly limitless skiing experience.

However, its most popular label of all is the Top of the French Alps (TOPA), which best sums up the exceptional character of this resort in the eyes of both French and foreign visitors who book it, and its legitimate place among the most important areas in the French Alps.

Meribel welcomes you

With its fifteen villages divided into five large districts, Meribel has around 2,000 inhabitants a year and can exceed 30,000 residents in the middle of the winter season due to its capacity of 36,000 beds.

An extraordinary event

Meribel hosted the Alpine Skiing World Championships in 2023 alongside Courchevel. For the occasion, the legendary Roc de Fer piste was remodelled to welcome the greatest champions.

An Olympic station

Meribel was the only resort to host Olympic events each day during the 1992 Albertville Olympic Winter Games. All the women's alpine skiing and ice hockey events were contested there in the Olympic ice rink.

You had to think about it!

In July 2021, Meribel made a name for itself by selling more than a hundred gondolas from the 1992 Olympic Games, which were sold for €500 each. The proceeds of this sale were then used to finance biodiversity operations within the ski area.
