Why ski Méribel?

Les Trois Vallées is simply the biggest linked ski area on earth — 600km of pistes across the Courchevel, Méribel and Les Menuires/Val Thorens valleys. Méribel sits at the heart of it, with easy access to all three valleys. The resort architecture is unusually attractive for purpose-built skiing (Savoyard chalet style was mandatory) and the terrain suits all levels.
