Méribel is an ideal destination for buying an apartment or chalet in the French Alps.

The Méribel ski slopes opened on December 7th to the delight of snow enthusiasts and lovers of cosy firesides alike. 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.
