The city of Meribel is a world-class ski resort located at the centre of France’s iconic Trois Vallées (Three Valleys) ski domain, the largest ski-lift network in the country. In the late 1930s, Peter Lindsey, a British winter sports enthusiast, established this resort. It retains much of its Anglo-centric heritage to this day.

What can you do in Méribel?
Meribel is a part of the Les Trois Vallees (the Three Valleys) of the Savoie Alps, which also include Val Thorens and Courchevel. Meribel comprises three villages: Meribel-Mottaret, Meribel Centre, and Meribel Village. Once your private jet drops you off in Meribel, your itinerary of activities in Meribel should consist of the following.
Lac de Tueda
If you’re a non-skier, you might enjoy Lac de Tueda. It’s unlike any lake you’ve encountered, with its crystal-clear water and copious trout. You can fish there in the summer. Alternatively, walk the botanical trail and be impressed by the innumerable species of Alpine plants.
La Folie Douce Méribel-Courchevel
Pamper yourself at the cabaret of La Folie, where you can enjoy live performances from singers and professional dancers donning exotic costumes. The music scene in Méribel is so vibrant that it is still audible even across the valley. You can also take the Saulire Express 1 gondola lift in the afternoon to participate in one of the wild parties on the mountain.
Oxygène
Oxygène is an English-speaking ski school in Méribel, Val Thorens, Courchevel, and La Tania. The school offers a variety of ski and snowboarding lessons for children and adults. The Magic Ski School Foundation has been espousing Méribel’s magic for the last two or so decades by offering numerous activities for beginner, intermediate and advanced skiers.
