Ski access is easy with the ski bus service and the bus stop just 3 minutes’ walk away. The service runs throughout the day and in to the evenings until 11pm. There are also extra departures at peak skiing times (when the lifts open and close), and buses then are every 5 minutes.
The accommodation is set over three floors with the majority of the cosy bedrooms on the second floor, some with exposed beams and partially under eaves, and all four of them with an en suite shower room. Pine panelling in the bedrooms and in the first floor living/dining room creates a warm ambience, complimented by white-washed stone walls and classic soft furnishings. The comfortable living room, with TV & DVD player, is L-shaped and bright thanks to several windows and the doors leading to the modest balcony at one end.
For those wishing to sample Meribel’s renowned nightlife, the lively O’Sullivans bar and club, (formerly the legendary Dick’s Tea Bar), is only a short walk away.

Méribel Resort Info
Méribel ski area
Known as the Heart of the Three Valleys, Méribel was founded by Peter Lindsay, a Scot, who developed the first commercial ski resort on the site occupied today. It has grown over the years to become one of the most popular resorts in the Alps with UK skiers. it's not difficult to see why!
Méribel is superbly located for quick access to all corners of the Three Valleys, itself the biggest linked ski area in Europe with over 600km of piste. Méribel provides the perfect combination of challenges for advanced skiers and cruising for beginners and intermediates. Put simply, there is no better ski area anywhere in the world than the Three Valleys and Méribel is slap bang in the middle of it all!
Méribel ski resort
Méribel Centre is the main hub of the resort, where you'll find an extensive choice of accommodation, shops, restaurants and one of the biggest and wildest apres ski and nightlife scenes in the Alps. From the legendary Rond Point (Ronnie) and Folie Douce to get the party started on the slopes before dinner, right through to O'Sullivan's which stays open almost until breakfast time... Méribel has been developed sympathetically over time, the result of which is an aesthetically pleasing resort of attractive wooden chalets.
Further up the valley is Méribel-Mottaret, which offers ultimate ski convenience as virtually every accommodation is slopeside, however don't expect to be able to party in Méribel Centre if you're staying up in Mottaret. Not quite as easy on the eye as Meribel but price and location are the main attractions for staying in Mottaret.
Méribel Village is a charming satellite village about a kilometre outside of Méribel on the road to La Tania. With a piste running down to the village and its own chairlift, plus a bus service that makes the nightlife in Méribel accesible, Village is another great value option for Méribel
