Accommodation in Méribel
Méribel
Tucked right in the heart of the world-famous Three Valleys, Méribel is the ultimate blend of alpine charm and ski convenience.
It’s the resort that manages to feel both traditional and buzzing - a place where wooden chalets glow under snowy roofs and skiers zip off in every direction to explore over 600km of pistes.
Architecturally, Méribel has stayed true to its roots. Building regulations here are strict, meaning everything you see is beautifully consistent - all timber, stone, and Savoyard soul. The result? A resort that actually feels like a ski village rather than a ski factory.
Set at around 1,400m, Méribel sits neatly between Courchevel and Val Thorens, giving you the best access to the entire Three Valleys area. Whether you’re an intermediate looking for endless cruising, a family with beginners in tow, or a powder-hound chasing off-piste lines, you’ll be spoiled for choice.
Choosing your Méribel ski accommodation
Méribel’s often called the “heart” of the Three Valleys, and it shows — not just geographically, but in the atmosphere. You’ll find everything from cosy apartments for family self-catering to ultra-luxurious catered chalets where you won’t have to lift a finger (except to pick up your wine glass).
When choosing where to stay, consider the character of each village:
- Méribel Centre is the main hub, full of shops, restaurants, and après-ski spots. Perfect for those who enjoy being in the thick of it.
- Méribel Mottaret sits higher up, ideal for keen skiers who want ski-in/ski-out access and quick connections to the entire Three Valleys.
- Méribel Village offers peace and quiet, a charming little square, and a direct lift link into the main area.
Budget-wise, Méribel covers all bases - from simple, practical apartments to the kind of chalets you’d happily move into for life. Wherever you stay, the resort’s free navette bus system makes it easy to get around. Families, in particular, love how accessible everything is, from ski schools to crèches.
Residences ({{resort.residences.length}})
Ski Apartments in Méribel
Apartments represent a smart and popular choice for families, couples, or small groups who appreciate the freedom of setting their own pace, particularly through self-catering and flexible mealtimes. Many are conveniently situated in large, well-maintained residences, especially in areas like Mottaret, offering desirable ski-in, ski-out access. Typical amenities include fully equipped kitchenettes, shared facilities such as ski lockers and laundry rooms, and often additional features like underground parking or small wellness areas and saunas.
The key pros are their excellent value within a prestigious ski area and the total flexibility they offer, allowing guests to avoid set meal times and ski straight out most mornings. The primary cons are that the space can sometimes be snug, and they naturally lack the high level of service found in catered chalets, unless opting for a premium serviced apartment. Ultimately, apartments are a top recommendation for those who value independence and the cosy convenience of enjoying a fondue night in pyjamas.
Ski Chalets in Méribel
Méribel is practically synonymous with the classic catered chalet holiday, making it the premier choice for groups, large families, or anyone seeking that quintessential, hassle-free alpine experience - complete with a crackling log fire and full dining service. The signature offering is the catered chalet, which provides the ultimate in convenience and comfort by including a private chef and host, who prepare hearty breakfasts, afternoon tea, and multi-course dinners, alongside daily housekeeping and often a dedicated driver service.
For those who desire the same luxurious environment with more independence, self-catered chalets offer the same stunning traditional Savoyard architecture, featuring wood, stone, vaulted ceilings, and incredible mountain views, but with full flexibility over meals and schedule. Regardless of the service level, most chalets in Méribel are equipped with every alpine luxury imaginable, such as hot tubs bubbling on the terrace, saunas or massage rooms, dedicated cinema setups for movie nights, and games rooms for entertainment, guaranteeing an indulgent stay.
Ski Hotels in Méribel
Hotels in Méribel are the ideal choice for travellers prioritising service, simplicity, and easy access to the village centre, perfectly suiting couples, solo travellers, and anyone preferring to avoid cooking or cleaning duties. The resort boasts a diverse range of options, from charming 3–to 4–star boutique hotels typically run by friendly local families to ultra-luxurious 5-star properties, such as Le Coucou, which elevates the experience with high-end amenities like spa treatments and dedicated ski concierges.

Crucially, hotels provide essential concierge help with organising ski passes, lessons, and local transfers. Staying in a hotel ensures that essential services and local action - including ski lifts, bars, and renowned restaurants - are right on your doorstep, allowing you to focus entirely on skiing, relaxing, and enjoying the resort.
