Méribel
A chalet-style snow village in the center of the Three Valleys, and a venue for the 1992 Winter Olympics. From here you can ski quickly into the other two valleys to the east and west.
Méribel was developed by the British in 1938, and it remains a stronghold for British visitors today. The whole village uses the timber-and-stone Savoyard chalet style. Located in the center of the Three Valleys, it is the most convenient base for skiing across the valleys. In 2023, it hosted the Alpine Skiing World Championships. The town has an Olympic Park with an ice rink and swimming pool left over from the Winter Olympics. Its nightlife and après-ski parties are lively. In summer, there are golf, hiking, and a mountain bike park.
