Meribel sits in the Tarentaise Valley in the French Alps within the western border of the Vanoise National Park. It is to the east of Chambery and south of Albertville. The resort was actually founded by a Scotsman, Peter Lindsay, as the Austrian resorts were becoming very popular in the years before the war. Although the development of the resort was halted during the war years, it recommenced in 1946, and it quickly became a very popular ski destination. Meribel boasts an excellent, fast and modern ski lift system offering easy access to the resort’s 150 km of pistes and the Three Valleys’ 600 km of pistes. It is very easy to ski over to the delightful Courchevel and the mighty Val Thorens.

At its highest skiing point, Meribel reaches an altitude of 2952 metres, and the descent into the town is incredibly scenic. Within Meribel, the Altiport area is best for beginners, while Saulire and Tougnete are for mixed ability, and the Mont du Vallon, with its long, steep runs, is great for advanced skiers. This is all against a gorgeous mountain backdrop. Meribel itself offers seventy-three ski runs, of which nine are green, thirty are blue, twenty-six are red, and eight are black. The resort also boasts plenty of off-piste entertainment and snow park activities such as snowboarding, jumps and freestyle skiing. There is a snowpark at Meribel Mottaret and a moon park.
