Home and Accommodation

If you’re looking for fantastic scenery, great skiing, an authentic Alpine culture and great ski chalets, Meribel may be for you. Of course, it’s relatively easy (and somewhat conventional) to wax lyrical about the various pistes or the opportunities for snowboarding, but great as all these things are, we perhaps need to admit that there may be other reasons why we enjoy skiing holidays – the après ski!

Frankly, this isn’t necessarily an area where all ski resorts score high points. Some are, shall we say, a little dour. Some other resorts appear to be all fluff and little real content, while others again offer establishments that have all the charm of a motorway services. So, what’s the score with Meribel, that most famous of ski resorts?

The good news is that the report is positive. For opportunities outside your ski chalets, Meribel manages to create a very favourable impression indeed. Depending upon where you’re staying and what you find interesting, there’s plenty of variety in this great Three Valleys resort. For a start, you have a choice of over 20 entertainment and eating establishments. Numbers aren’t always an indication of quality and but they do indicate diversity – and that means that there is likely to be something for everyone.

There are, for example, several pubs – including some (such as Jack’s bar) where transport is even laid on to avoid you needing to slog back in the cold or risk driving (absolutely not advised). If discos are rather more your scene, you can try The Loft or Dick’s Tea Bar. They’re both friendly and fairly easy-going places.

By contrast, if you like a little quiet sophisticated dining, there are plenty of options to choose from, including establishments such as La Fromagerie and Le Cro-Magnon, plus a number of others where you’ll find excellent cuisines but without the affectation.

Perhaps live music is more to your taste? If so, instead of having to entertain yourself by singing in your ski chalets, Meribel is home to the famous Le Rond Point, where you’ll hear some great bands playing.

Meribel has a great selection of evening entertainment venues and the best thing is they are all so close at hand. Over the years it has developed a well-deserved reputation for being one of the premier Alpine resorts. You can be sure that within easy access of just about any of the ski chalets, Meribel can lay on the entertainment to keep you occupied during those long winter evenings!
