About Meribel
Set at the heart of Europe’s largest ski area, Les Trois Vallées, Méribel makes the perfect base to explore its 600 kilometres of runs. And with its long list of bars and restaurants, plus easy access to the seductive glamour of Courchevel 1850, there’s a great apres-ski scene here too.
Our luxury ski chalets in Méribel range from hotspots in the heart of the resort to more secluded ski-in ski-out properties perched on the slopes. Many benefit from sweeping views over the chocolate-box landscapes that make Méribel such an attractive skiing destination.
With runs to challenge experienced skiers and wide, gentle cruises for the novice or the nervous, Méribel is a perfect destination for families or groups at a range of different levels. It’s easy to access the manicured slopes of Courchevel as well as the high-altitude resort of Val Thorens.
Between the timeless beauty, extensive skiing and impressive range of restaurants, it’s easy to see why this resort continues to appeal. And a fully catered luxury ski chalet in Méribel makes the very best way to enjoy it.

Currency
The official currency is the Euro (€). Coins are available in 1 cent, 2 cent, 5 cent, 10 cent, 20 cent, 50, cent, €1 & €2 denominations. Notes are available in €5, €10, €20, €50, €100, €200, €500 denominations.
Money matters
Travellers cheques are widely accepted for exchange or purchase in major cities, but in more rural areas, visit a bank to exchange them for Euros. Major credit cards are widely accepted here and ATM access is widespread. Exchange currency only at authorized outlets such as banks and hotels, and exchange only what you think you will spend in the country. Coins cannot be reconverted on departure. Save all receipts from any currency exchange transaction. You may be asked to produce them when you exit the country, and they are required if you intend to reconvert local currency.
Tipping Suggestion
In restaurants a service charge is built into menu prices. However, it's customary to round up amounts when paying the waiter or waitress if you're happy with the service. This means that you might hand the server EUR 50 for a EUR 47 meal. If you're paying by credit card, hand the server a cash tip of up to 5%. For Taxis as in restaurants, round up or add 5% when you're happy with the service. Tips to your chalet staff are entirely at your discretion.
