Méribel, a ski resort dedicated to joy

The Méribel ski slopes open on December 7th, and are eagerly awaited by snow enthusiasts and lovers of cosy firesides. The resort harmoniously blends back-to-basics elegance, tradition and modernity across both winter and summer months. In a word, Méribel reaches new heights when combining nature and excellence.

Méribel: an iconic 3 Valleys resort

At the heart of the world's largest ski area, the Three Valleys, Méribel promises a unique experience, where skiers never take the same run twice, and enjoy riding on some of the legendary runs, such as La Saulire. A difficult choice between, downhill or Nordic skiing, snowboarding, freeride or ski touring, yet its 600 km of pistes offer an infinite range of possibilities.

With the majority of its slopes above 1,800m, Méribel enjoys exceptional snow conditions annually, surpassing many other resorts around the world. Among its many assets, Méribel is a resort with charm and character: its buildings respect the natural environment and local architectural heritage. Here chalets are traditional, made of stone and wood, and pay homage to the purest Savoyard style. Nestled in a cirque between valleys and forests, the panoramic views are exceptional, with Mont Blanc as a backdrop.

Beyond the pleasures of the slopes, Méribel also offers a sought-after lifestyle. The chic resort offers a lively off-piste scene, with renowned restaurants vying with one another to offer gastronomic delights, including the famous Michelin-starred Ekrin restaurant, part of the Hôtel le Kaïla, and Le Resto, part of the Hôtel Savoy.

And if Méribel is enchanting in the snow, the resort continues to thrive year round. A veritable open-air playground, this part of the Alps unveils exceptional landscapes where lakes, forests, streams and alpine trails mingle. An ideal place to recharge your batteries, enjoy unique experiences, and take in the beauty of the landscape with the infinite as your horizon.

Investing in Méribel: the advantages of property in Méribel.

Attracting an increasingly affluent clientele, Méribel has developed its upscale real estate offering. The market is marked by prestige properties - apartments and chalets - with luxury amenities. Since peaking in 2019, prices have continued to fluctuate, as the post-Covid period has heightened buyers' attraction to properties in the heart of nature. Although new developments have moderated prices by expanding supply, demand remains higher. Investing in Méribel is therefore a solid and promising option.

The resort is divided into four districts, each with its own character. The three most sought-after areas are Méribel-Mottaret, Méribel-Centre and Méribel-Les Allues. What attracts people to Méribel-Mottaret is its privileged location, at the foot of the slopes in winter and at the gateway to the Parc de la Vanoise in summer. Méribel-Centre offers a friendly atmosphere right in the heart of the resort. As for Les Allues, this authentic, unspoilt district is appreciated for its mountain lifestyle and its traditional chalets, albeit at relatively higher prices.

Average property prices in Méribel exceed €4,800 per sq m for apartments, rising to almost €8,000 per sq m for luxury properties. Prestige chalets can fetch up to €14,000 per sq m, depending on location and features.
