51 Marshalls Road, Raunds, Northants, NN9 6EY, United Kingdom.

Méribel lies in the middle of the Trois Vallées, one of the most popular ski areas among French and Brits alike. It has 200 lifts, 600km of well linked, all-ability pistes and off-piste to match. Intermediates will flourish, but the weaker and stronger skiers aren't overlooked, as there is something for everyone. Méribel was founded by an Englishman, perhaps partially explaining why it is so popular with his countrymen now.

Essentially it consists of two parts: Méribel-Centre and Méribel-Mottaret. Both are largely chalet and apartment based, meaning that the restaurant selection could be better. But, find that smile, there are easily enough bars and clubs to keep the younger crowd happy.

Boarders will love the Trois Vallées, not just for its vast array of on- and off-piste skiing, but also for the three specialist parks, and a separate snowboard area in Méribel. As with anywhere popular, slight queues can build up and the pistes and roads may become crowded. Also, prices can be almost as steep as the slopes themselves. The ski school isn't the best the Trois Vallées has to offer, but is more than adequate when covering the basics.

Overall, a good, if disjointed ski resort at the centre of a great domain. Aesthetically quite appealing because of the many chalet-style buildings, Méribel's biggest plus is its location at the heart of the Trois Vallées. This should override almost any criticism, although if you want to avoid Brits, this isn't the place…

Bowling Alley, Sports Centre, Gym, Swimming Pool, Ice Rink, Paragliding, Walking Trails, Sauna.
