Méribel Valley offers some nice easy green and blue runs to introduce beginners to the sport while there is also a good mix of red and black runs to keep intermediate and advanced skiers happy.
Méribel, comprising Méribel Centre, Méribel Village and Méribel-Mottaret, lies at the very heart of the Three Valleys and is an ideal base for skiers and boarders of all levels, with 150km of its own slopes and quick access to all 600km of runs in the area via an excellent lift system.
The centre of Méribel consists mainly of wood and stone-clad chalets which blend into the resort’s natural woodland setting. On the mountain, early intermediates will enjoy the Altiport run while more advanced skiers and boarders will find a playground in the Mont Vallon sector. Méribel’s tree-lined runs are perfect for days when visibility is poor, although the resort generally enjoys a sunny disposition.
Nightlife is lively. Après -ski begins with a 4pm-5pm happy hour at the legendary Rond Point, aka 'The Ronnie', followed by a quick and often hilarious ski down to Le Pub or La Taverne for live music. For the French experience, head to Bar Au Vin or Le Poste de Secours.
A satellite resort perched above Méribel, Mottaret enjoys views of the beautiful Allues valley. A great option for doorstep skiing, it offers easy access to the entire ski area and gives families or groups a more laid back option. A small resort centre offers a number of bars, including Le Rastro, shops and restaurants and there’s a regular bus service to the centre of Méribel.
A traditional spa town, Bride Les Bains is situated at the base of the Three Valleys and while it takes a little longer to reach the main Three Valleys ski area in the morning, it offers the best of both worlds for holidaymakers who want access to 600km of ski terrain with the charm of a spa town and quieter night life.

Louise Bathersby
Hello and welcome to France! My name is Louise or ‘Lou’. I'm from Australia, which you'll probably tell from my accent, although some people say l have an Irish head on me! We don’t have any big mountains in Australia and not a lot of snow so I am lucky enough to come and work in the European Alps for the Winter. This will be my 5th ski season for Topflight & DirectSki, working in both Austria and France. I look forward to welcoming you and I’m here to answer all of your questions and help you to enjoy every bit of your holiday.
Malcolm Stocks
Hello, I'm Malcolm. This winter will be my 6th winter season in the French Alps for Topflight. I originally hail from the west coast of Scotland, but France has become my home for the winters. I love anything and everything outdoorsy, but especially cycling and skiing! There's nothing quite like sharing a fondue and a few drinks after a bluebird powder day! Myself and the team are looking forward to welcoming you to the French Alps this winter. We are here to ensure you have a fantastic time both on and off the slopes. Whether you are looking for some local info on the best spots for a hot chocolate, fondue, or a well earned beer or vin chaud at the end of the day. We'll be on hand to deal with any queries or questions you may have during your stay.
