Chalet Lys Blanc
Features
Lys Blanc is an attractive detached chalet set in a quiet residential area in the beautiful Morel area above Méribel Centre. It was formerly the private home of the owner, so great care has gone into its style and upkeep. The cosy living/dining room makes a beautiful centrepiece to the chalet, with a log fire adding to the overall atmosphere, and the spacious bedrooms all have en suite facilities.
The Morel chair lift, which takes you to the Altiport for excellent links to the Three Valleys, is only 3 minutes' walk away (310m). At the end of the day, a blue run from the Altiport brings you back close to the chalet. Alternatively there is a ski-bus stop 200m from the chalet for the short bus ride to and from the lifts.Mobile fitting of ski rental equipment can be arranged in the chalet.

Méribel Resort Info
Méribel lies in the heart of the Three Valleys, which remains one of the most popular ski areas in the Alps. 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. Boarders and freestyelers have the coice of 2 snowparks, with 5 more in other Three Valleys resorts.
Méribel ski resort
The resort actually consists of five separate parts but the two main areas, which comprise the vast majority of the accommodation, are Méribel-Centre and Méribel-Mottaret. Both are largely chalet and apartment based, with a limited choice of hotels, meaning that the restaurant selection could be better. There are, however, easily enough bars and clubs to keep the younger crowd happy.As with anywhere popular, slight queues can build up and the pistes and roads may become crowded in peak season. Also, prices can be almost as steep as the slopes themselves.
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…
