Chalet Mont d'Or, Méribel

Set among woodland in the heart of the Three Valleys, Méribel combines traditional chalet-style charm with access to the world's largest linked ski area. The local slopes cater for all abilities, with gentle, tree-lined blues ideal for beginners and fast lift links to higher terrain for intermediates and advanced skiers looking to explore further.

The resort is famous for its lively après-ski, with bars and live music keeping the atmosphere going long after the lifts close. Accommodation ranges from cosy self-catering apartments to luxury spa hotels, while the restaurants serve everything from classic Savoyard favourites like fondue and raclette to relaxed international cuisine.

Regularly recognised as one of the Alps' top family resorts, Méribel has plenty to enjoy away from the pistes too. The Olympic Park features a swimming pool, spa and ice rink, while outdoor activities include snowshoeing, snowmobiling and other winter adventures.
