Skiing & Riding Meribel is a really great resort. We managed to do the whole season last year and managed to learn snowboarding and skiing from absolute beginner to very good skier and reasonable snowboarder. There are now about a dozen ski & snowboard schools. You really need a 3 Valley pass unless you are a beginner for just one week's holiday. The Meribel Pass would be ok and is cheaper. You can also buy a one-day extension if you need to. There are two snowboard parks here plus others in Courchevel, Les Menuires and Val Thorens.Meribel is THE place to stay but the best area for skiing must be Courchevel. But anyway you can reach any of the other resorts in about 30 minutes so fro

My first day was on the Altiport slopes and getting used to skiing on snow. However, you need to know where the track is to get back onto it - otherwise you end further up and then have to come down a blue, but hey it was a learning curve. After the first couple of days there we then started our lessons with New Generation Ski, who improved our skiing to enable us to ski on the blues comfortably. Great skiing was rewared with sunny cloudless skies and fantastic views, which made it a perfect resort for a first timer. Having got the taste for it, I was there again this year where the weather was in full swing, White outs, Avalanches and stuck in Meribel due to too much snow and the risk of av

Meribel ist ein perfekter Ausgangspunkt für Les Trois Vallees. Es sieht hier schöner aus als Val Thorens oder Les Menuires und Mottaret liegt genauso hoch wie Les Menuires. Ich finde, dass dies ein super Reiseziel ist. Der einzige Grund, Meribel keine 10 zu geben ist, weil ich nicht in allen Skigebieten gewesen bin...

Stayed in meribel last year for the first time and bought a 3 vallees pass for around 200 euros. fantastic range of skiing. apres ski and beyond in meribel is great fun but one noticeable thing was the amount of brits working in meribel. was a little disappointed not to be able to use and improve my limited french (i even bought a phrase book). the skiing in the meribel valley was great although by the end of the day the congestion and condition of the runs down were a bit of a pain. cant really give a balanced view on the other 2 valleys as we only skied over twice but from a quick observation - in val thorens the skiing was truly amazing but the resort is a bit ugly. in courchevel the pist

Picturesque resort, lots to do and amenities all close by, great escalator in the middle of meribel from which you can ski down to the lifts. snow and lifts excellent and great runs which chalenge but are manageable for beginners. a wonderful experience. will go back to explore further.
