Visitor Reviews of Méribel


Len from United Kingdom writes:

Returned from Meribel on 29/1/12 - conditions were superb. Lifts and slopes a little crowded at times but if you venture a little further afield they are a bit quieter. As per another reviewer, I stayed in the Arols Bleus chalet which had two great hosts - Matt and Marsi - and was close enough to walk into town for a beer etc.
Although the nightlife isn't quite 'jumping' there are sufficient bars should you just be looking for a beer, though I would recommend avoiding the Meribar at the bottom of the slopes and definitely don't go to the pub quiz, it's awful.
