Must see Meribel

Written by Steven a Snowboarder from Sydney
30/1/2012

The Les Trois Valley is amazing. We stayed in Meribel , a fun little village in the middle of the valley''s wih easy access to Courchevel and Val Thorens via the very new state of the art lift system.

Skiing and boarding for all levels from beginner to dare devil, and a number of terrain parks for the trixters.

Les Meriyls Hotel is a very warming residence with lovely staff and location location location , with a skiing to your door and a hip Après Bar across road where you can have a dance after a hard day of skiing.

Thoroughly enjoyed every minute of our trip...

Meribel-Mottaret outstanding if location is your thing

Written by Jo a Skier from Sydney, NSW. Australia
7/4/2011

The little village of Meribel-Mottaret sits right in the middle of Les Trois Vallees. 

From there you can head in any direction depending on snow and weather conditions, and always be within reach of the extreme ends of this enormous, fabulous ski region. Make sure you go for the Three Valleys Diploma by skiing each of the 15 more remote ski runs marked on the ski map. Then you know you''ve really skiied the Three Valleys...

The Alpen Ruitor is a friendly hotel situated right at the hub of Mottaret. Comfortable lounge, welcome events for guests and hearty, tasty local food and French wine list.

Not many Aussies around, but plenty of French, English and Russians!
