An ideal base for skiers and boarders of all abilities - surrounded by one of the largest ski areas in the World, all 600km of it! Méribel and Mottaret lie in the centre of The Three Valleys with quick access to every part. Each has its own exciting ski area, and provides immediate access to the slopes of next door Courchevel, Val Thorens and Les Menuires. Méribel sits just below Mottaret, and has many pretty chalet style buildings and a lively village centre. Its selection of shops, restaurants and bars make for a vibrant atmosphere with plenty of choice and some definite hot spots for après-ski. Mottaret is more purpose built and less attractive, but being a little higher up the mountain includes breathtaking views, more doorstep skiing as well as friendly après-ski in the compact village centre. A good ski bus service links the villages into the evening. These are very popular resorts with many visitors returning year after year.
