Cozy Duplex at the Foot of the Slopes

Méribel is the only valley in the Three Valleys to have held its builders to a binding architectural charter from the start: timber, local stone and lauze roofing, which is why no apartment block breaks the skyline here. Its four villages climb the valley in stages, from Les Allues at 1,100 metres through Méribel Village and Méribel Centre up to Mottaret at 1,750 metres. The skiing covers 150 kilometres across 72 pistes, rising to the Mont Vallon at 2,952 metres and feeding into the 600 kilometres of the wider area. Méribel staged every women's alpine event of the 1992 Albertville Games and hosted the World Championships again in 2023. The Plan de Tuéda nature reserve, a stand of Swiss pine, begins just above Mottaret.
