Meribel Reviews by Customers

"There is excellent skiing to be had in the Courchevel area or over the hill in the Belleville valley. The best run in Meribel is the Combe du Vallon. Pop over the mountain and enjoy the near empty pistes above St Martin, or the great snow in Val Thorens."

"Meribel is one of the most attractive resorts right in the middle of the 3 valleys. It is the livliest of the three valleys. It is very family friendly with a relaxed and fun atmosphere. It is an excellent all round resort that offers something for everyone!"

"We had two holidays last year in Meribel and really enjoyed ourselves immensely. The skiing is a perfect 10 and can't be added to by simple comment; there is so much of it out there! Both times we became regulars at Jacks Bar and Evolution; both bars made us feel really welcome (they recognised us from our first visit). They held some fantastic evenings of entertainment also, combined with the Altitude festival. Eating out was generally expensive, Refuge, Evolution and Fromagare were the definitely the best value."
