At the heart of Les 3 Vallées, Méribel blends pine-framed pistes, handsome chalets and quick links to Courchevel and Val Thorens. It’s the valley you picture when you think “classic Alps” with warm lights at dusk, first lifts at dawn, and long lunches when the sun breaks through. With Bluemoon, you can book one of our Méribel luxury chalet and apartment rentals amidst the scenic mountain landscapes.
Make room for your skis with a private jet charter to Méribel. Fly into Genève or Chambéry in privacy and style. We’ll handle the onward helicopter or road transfer to your chalet so you arrive refreshed and ready for the mountains. Arrange a fully regulated private jet charter and travel on your own terms.
Méribel is where Alpine life feels instinctive. Timbered chalets, pine-scented air, and lifts that pull you towards long, rolling descents. People come for the skiing but they stay for the way the village moves: unhurried mornings, blue-hour streets, and tables that stretch a lunch into late afternoon.
This renowned ski resort town blends Savoyard architecture with modern amenities, providing the discerning traveller with a perfect blend of comfort and elegance. Méribel's timeless allure captivates both seasoned skiers and beginners alike. This Alpine paradise offers luxury and adventure, inviting you to embark on a winter getaway like no other and our Méribel luxury chalets and apartment rentals are the perfect places to stay during your adventure.
Méribel’s winter ski season traditionally runs from December to April. With its continental climate, temperatures typically range from -2 to 7 degrees Celsius, with heavy snowfall creating excellent skiing conditions across the Valleys. January usually marks the coldest month in Méribel but you’ll usually have perfect snow-covered slopes to enjoy throughout the winter months.
With over 600 kilometres of pistes catering to all skill levels, Méribel has something for all standards. Beginners will appreciate the gentler slopes of Altiport and Truite, while those craving adventure will find it on Mont Vallon and with long, wide runs leading back down you’ll see some exceptional views. For perfectly sunlit skiing, head to the Tougnette and Saulire side of the valley, where tree-lined slopes provide a picturesque setting from morning to afternoon.
Looking to understand which part of Méribel suits your style? This guide covers the resort’s neighbourhoods, under-the-radar spots, and how and where to spend your time in the Alps.
Favoured by families and long-timers, Méribel Centre is where village life meets big-mountain access. Timbered façades line the lanes towards La Chaudanne; from here, lifts rise to Saulire and Tougnète, putting glossy reds and far-ranging blues within easy reach. Early laps off Saulire set up the day; a Mauduit glide home at blue hour reminds you why you picked the centre.
Between runs, the Olympic Centre is a reliable reset: pool, rink, space to breathe. Later, go classic with a fondue Savoyarde at La Fromagerie, or book a celebratory table at L’Ekrin. Evenings glow rather than roar, and everything you need is a short stroll away.
Prefer to end the day somewhere livelier? La Terrasse du Village, open year-round, is a staple for locals and visitors alike: après-ski on the large covered, heated terrace, live music, and flavourful plates. With the vin chaud flowing, it’s an easy place to wrap up the day.
High, sunny and convenient. Pockets of true ski-in/ski-out wrap the hillside; Adret and Rhodos lifts whisk you up for quick laps when the light is kind, and you can drop back to the centre without fuss. Le Rond-Point (affectionately, 'the Ronnie') does après properly: live music, a sun-soaked terrace, and that unmistakable Méribel hum. With prime slope positioning, like that of rental Chalet La Folie, with immediate ski-out access to the Doron piste, the apartments and chalets here let you maximise time on the mountain.
Belvédère keeps things polished: five-star calm at Le Coucou (and its piste-facing bar), and spa time at Antarès Wellness. Fewer shops, more quiet. The point here is altitude and ease, with the free resort bus linking you to the lower streets when you want them. The luxury chalets and apartments here are beautiful, like Penthouse Snow Lodge, a stunning apartment rental with ski-in ski-out convenience.
Belvédère, originally developed for the 1992 Winter Olympics, and Rond-Point, has seen significant investment and now welcomes guests seeking the luxury Alpine life.
Chalet streets gathered around a sunny square. Clip in and ride Golf straight towards the Altiport’s gentle zones; cruise home on Lapin, a long blue through the trees that feels like a tree-lined glide rather than a commute. The pace is friendly and unhurried, with a handful of useful shops and everything else minutes away. Chalet Foinsbois, which includes a chauffeur during your stay, is the perfect Méribel Village getaway.
When the day runs long, Lodge du Village is the rendezvous, balcony views over the valley, live music as the sun dips, and a mix of locals and old friends who never stopped coming back.
Altitude on tap and range without the faff. From the bowl, lifts fan in three directions: Pas du Lac to Saulire and Courchevel; Plattières towards Les Menuires and Val Thorens; Mont Vallon for long, serious descents and big-sky views. Families gravitate to Yeti Park on the edge of the bowl. On flat-light days, the paths around Plan de Tuéda reset the mood between laps.
Lunch at Le Rastro is the classic slope-side pause: broad terrace, easy cooking, gondola in view, and a great selection of pizzas. For dinner nearby, La Brizolée offers a wide choice of hearty, well-done dishes.
The storybook hamlets below the hub. Les Allues, the original village of the valley, centres on a welcoming square and is also the home of the luxury Apartment Ophite, a ski apartment from the renowned mountain architect Jean-Marc Mouchet. Le Raffort is quieter still, all stone and timber with a sense of heritage. When snow allows, you can ski down via the Villages runs; otherwise, the Olympe gondola floats you straight to La Chaudanne.
In Les Allues, Tsaretta keeps the lights on year-round, with a welcoming atmosphere and a calendar that livens the square through the season.
