Méribel Valley offers some nice easy green and blue runs to introduce beginners to the sport while there is also a good mix of red and black runs to keep intermediate and advanced skiers happy.
Méribel, comprising Méribel Centre, Méribel Village and Méribel-Mottaret, lies at the very heart of the Three Valleys and is an ideal base for skiers and boarders of all levels, with 150km of its own slopes and quick access to all 600km of runs in the area via an excellent lift system.
The centre of Méribel consists mainly of wood and stone-clad chalets which blend into the resort’s natural woodland setting. On the mountain, early intermediates will enjoy the Altiport run while more advanced skiers and boarders will find a playground in the Mont Vallon sector. Méribel’s tree-lined runs are perfect for days when visibility is poor, although the resort generally enjoys a sunny disposition.
Nightlife is lively. Après -ski begins with a 4pm-5pm happy hour at the legendary Rond Point, aka 'The Ronnie', followed by a quick and often hilarious ski down to Le Pub or La Taverne for live music. For the French experience, head to Bar Au Vin or Le Poste de Secours.
A satellite resort perched above Méribel, Mottaret enjoys views of the beautiful Allues valley. A great option for doorstep skiing, it offers easy access to the entire ski area and gives families or groups a more laid back option. A small resort centre offers a number of bars, including Le Rastro, shops and restaurants and there’s a regular bus service to the centre of Méribel.
A traditional spa town, Bride Les Bains is situated at the base of the Three Valleys and while it takes a little longer to reach the main Three Valleys ski area in the morning, it offers the best of both worlds for holidaymakers who want access to 600km of ski terrain with the charm of a spa town and quieter night life.

Your Resort Managers
Gabrielle O'Rourke
Hi, I'm Gabrielle. I'm very excited to be working another winter season and look forward to welcoming you to the French Alps. I love being active and having access to nature and the outdoors. In my free time at home in Dublin, you'll probably find me on a yoga mat, the tennis court or a hiking trail somewhere. I am passionate about skiing and the mountains, working or enjoying the mountain life in resorts in the Austrian and French alps, as well as the Pyrenees and Nepalese Himalayas over the years. My background in the events industry means I am accustomed to delivering a high level of customer service and look forward to assisting with any and all queries to ensure you have a fantastic holiday both on and off the slopes.
Louise Bathersby
Hi and welcome to France! My name is Louise or ‘Lou’. I’m from Australia, which you’ll probably hear from my accent and we don’t have any big mountains in Australia and not a lot of snow, so I am lucky enough to spend time in the French Alps during the Winter. I absolutely love skiing and being outside enjoying the beauty of the mountains. This will be my 6th season for Topflight and Directski, working in both Austria and France. I look forward to welcoming you and I’m here to answer all of your questions and help you to enjoy every bit of your holiday.
Malcolm Stocks
Hello, I'm Malcolm. This winter will be my 3rd summer season on Lake Garda for Topflight. I originally hail from the west coast of Scotland and spend my winters in France. I love anything and everything outdoorsy, but especially cycling and skiing! There's nothing quite like sharing a pizza and a few drinks after a sunny day on the lake! I am here to ensure you have a fantastic time with us here in Italy. Whether you are looking for some local info on the best spots to visit or a well earned Aperol Spritz at the end of the day, I'll be on hand to deal with any queries or questions you may have during your stay.
