Luxury Chaletsin Méribel Centre

Méribel Centre is the resort's natural meeting point. The Chaudanne lift hub sits at its foot, opening the whole of Les 3 Vallées, while shopping galleries, restaurants and bars line the streets above. Every building follows the resort's rule of local stone and wood, so even the busiest corner keeps a coherent alpine character.

Our apartments and chalets here suit those who want everything close at hand: the first lift of the morning, a table in the evening, an après-ski that carries on into the night. Each comes with a fireplace and a ski room, most with daily housekeeping, a ski shuttle and a private concierge to arrange the rest.

Our concierge's advice

Christmas, New Year and the February school holidays are booked first, often by early autumn, so those weeks are best secured well ahead. For those dates, ask your concierge to reserve ski instructors and restaurant tables in the Centre before you arrive.

The slopes from Chaudanne

The Chaudanne lift hub is the departure point for much of Méribel's skiing and the gateway to the wider 3 Vallées network. Méribel lies at its geographical heart, so the 600km domain opens in every direction from here. Some of our properties are within walking distance of the slopes; most others offer a ski shuttle, and boot heaters and ski rooms keep mornings unhurried.

Tables and evenings

The Centre is where Méribel goes out. Shopping galleries, restaurants and bars sit within a short walk of most chalets, and the après-ski scene is the liveliest in the resort. Your concierge can reserve tables, arrange a private chef at the chalet, or plan an evening that starts on the slopes and finishes by your own fire.

Arriving and moving around

Geneva and Lyon airports are both around 2h30 by road, Chambéry closer at about 1h30; private transfers and helicopter options can be arranged. Once here, the car can rest. The Méribel shuttle bus links all the villages, and the Olympic Centre, built for the 1992 Games, still offers ice sports nearby.

Frequently asked questions

How does Méribel Centre compare with the other areas of Méribel?

The Centre is the liveliest and most convenient, with the main lifts, shops and restaurants on the doorstep. Méribel Village, Le Raffort and Rond-Point des Pistes are quieter, while Méribel-Mottaret sits higher up the valley. Choose the Centre if you value walking everywhere and an evening life close by.

How easy is access to the slopes?

The Chaudanne lift hub is in the Centre and connects to the whole 3 Vallées. Several of our properties are within walking distance of the slopes, and most of the others include a ski shuttle.

How do we get to Méribel Centre?

Chambéry Airport is about 1h30 by road, Geneva and Lyon about 2h30. Your concierge can arrange a private transfer or a helicopter.

Is the Centre suitable for families, or for a quiet stay?

Families appreciate having the lifts, ski school meeting points and shops close at hand, and some properties have games rooms and indoor pools. The area is lively in the evening; for more calm, Méribel Village or Le Raffort may suit you better.

When is the best time to come to Méribel Centre?

The lifts of Méribel usually run from early December to mid-April. Christmas, New Year and the February school holidays are the most sought-after weeks and are often booked by early autumn, so those dates are best planned well ahead.

Méribel

• Méribel
• Méribel Village: A quiet hamlet in larch and stone above Méribel, with its own lift into the 3 Vallées and the pace of a real village.
• Rond-Point des Pistes: Above Méribel's centre, where the pistes converge: a quarter where skis go on at the door and come off there too.
• Le Raffort: A wooded hamlet in the valley below Méribel, quieter than the resort yet minutes from its lifts and the 3 Vallées.
