WHY WE RECOMMEND IT
Although one of the larger ski resorts in the French Alps, Meribel has still managed to hold onto its natural charm. Being in the centre of the Three Valleys it gives you access to hundreds of kilometres of pisted ski runs which are some of the best in Europe. The apres ski action is very good with something for everyone. Although it has expanded out of recognition, the resort still maintains its wooden "chalet style" quaintness that doesn't detract from the stunning backdrop.
On the whole an excellent resort which people flock back to again and again.
