It is also located 17km south of Mo\u00fbtiers, which serves as the gateway to the resort, providing access to various transport options, including train and bus services.<\/p>\n<p>Chambery is Meribel&#8217;s closest major city, located about 100 kilometres to the northwest. It has an airport, Chamb\u00e9ry-Savoie Airport (CMF), which is the most convenient option for reaching Meribel from European and domestic locations.<\/p>\n<p>Geneva is another popular option for reaching Meribel. Geneva International Airport (GVA) is a major international airport with numerous flight connections. It is approximately 135 kilometres from Meribel.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"alt-font\"><span style=\"font-size: 100%;\" data-text-color=\"secondary\">How High is Meribel?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Meribel sits at an elevation of approximately 1,400 meters above sea level, this is the lowest point of the local ski area, where most of the accommodation, amenities, and ski lifts are located. The surrounding ski slopes reach even higher altitudes. For example, the highest point in Meribel is the summit of Mont du Borgne, which stands at an impressive altitude of 3,153 meters.<\/p>\n<p>Meribel&#8217;s high altitude and alpine location contribute to better snow conditions than lower altitude winter destinations. This is because its higher elevation ensures colder temperatures, which help maintain consistent snowfall throughout the winter. This results in excellent natural snow cover and a longer ski season.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"alt-font\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 100%;\" data-text-color=\"secondary\">Our M\u00e9ribel Video Review:<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"video video-fit mb\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"M\u00e9ribel Ski Resort | 3 Valleys: Best Base?

The main benefit of this lift pass, is that you can not only jump on any lift in M\u00e9ribel, but use the lifts on Courchevel, and Val Thorens. There are various options for lift passes to suit your group. For example, you can buy a family pass, a beginner pass a group pass or even one for couples. Choosing the right lift pass for you and your trip will save you money.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"Body\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">M\u00e9ribel is made up of several separate villages. Many of M\u00e9ribel\u2019s visitors love its tasteful architecture which is a refreshing change from some of France\u2019s more purpose built high rise style resorts. This is due to M\u00e9ribel\u2019s charming wooden chalets scattered around the picturesque landscape.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"Body\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">The three main villages of M\u00e9ribel offer visitors various benefits:<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h3 class=\"Body alt-font\"><span data-text-color=\"primary\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">M\u00e9ribel Centre<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"Body\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">If you want easy access to all the action, M<\/span><span lang=\"FR\">\u00e9<\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\">ribel Centre is an excellent place to stay.

If you have time during your trip, this is a <strong>must-do activity<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"Body\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">Another great thing to do when visiting M<\/span><span lang=\"FR\">\u00e9<\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\">ribel is getting first tracks with breakfast. This is something you can do every Thursday, which is a fantastic experience. You get the views as the sun comes up.

Its single high-speed chairlift links M<\/span><span lang=\"FR\">\u00e9<\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\">ribel Village to the Altiport ski area, but you can get back to the village via an easy blue run.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"Body\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">When it comes to choosing a resort within the 3 Valleys, M<\/span><span lang=\"FR\">\u00e9<\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\">ribel hits the sweet spot, as it is right in the centre of the ski area. This makes it much easier to explore the area using the lift system. If you have time during your trip, it may be worth visiting Les Allues. Sitting at 1100m, here you can experience an authentic Savoyard village atmosphere. Make sure you visit early in the season, as it usually closes as the snow melts towards the end of winter.<\/span><span><o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row row-collapse\"  id=\"row-148059152\">\n\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1497852115\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\t<div id=\"gap-581309742\" class=\"gap-element clearfix\" style=\"display:block; height:auto;\">\n\t\t\n<style>\n#gap-581309742 {\n  padding-top: 30px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 80%;\">Not Sure Which French Ski Resort Is Right for You?<\/span><\/h2>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\"><span>Answer a few quick questions about your dates, group, skiing abilities, accommodation preferences and budget.

To make life very convenient, you can hire your ski and snowboard equipment from the Skiset shop located within the residence.<\/p>\n<div class=\"slider-wrapper relative\" id=\"slider-908710487\" >\n    <div class=\"slider slider-nav-circle slider-nav-large slider-nav-light slider-style-normal slider-show-nav\"\n        data-flickity-options='{\n            \"cellAlign\": \"center\",\n            \"imagesLoaded\": true,\n            \"lazyLoad\": 1,\n            \"freeScroll\": false,\n            \"wrapAround\": true,\n            \"autoPlay\": false,\n            \"pauseAutoPlayOnHover\" : true,\n            \"prevNextButtons\": true,\n            \"contain\" : true,\n            \"adaptiveHeight\" : true,\n            \"dragThreshold\" : 10,\n            \"percentPosition\": true,\n            \"pageDots\": true,\n            \"rightToLeft\": false,\n            \"draggable\": true,\n            \"selectedAttraction\": 0.1,\n            \"parallax\" : 0,\n            \"friction\": 0.6        }'\n        >\n        \n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_783325589\">\n\t\t<a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.topsnowtravel.com\/accommodation\/falcon-lodge-penthouse-c21\/\" >\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner image-zoom image-cover box-shadow-2 dark\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1350\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/www.topsnowtravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/5-star-Falcon-Lodge-5-Bedroom-Penthouse-C21-Meribel-11.jpg\" class=\"attachment-original size-original\" alt=\"5 Star Falcon Lodge 5 Bedroom Penthouse C21 Me\u0301ribel 11\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.topsnowtravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/5-star-Falcon-Lodge-5-Bedroom-Penthouse-C21-Meribel-11.jpg 1350w, https:\/\/www.topsnowtravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/5-star-Falcon-Lodge-5-Bedroom-Penthouse-C21-Meribel-11-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.topsnowtravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/5-star-Falcon-Lodge-5-Bedroom-Penthouse-C21-Meribel-11-1200x800.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1350px) 100vw, 1350px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"caption\">5***** Falcon Lodge -

There are plenty of options for everyone, ranging from sipping a quiet beer or an all-out party night.<\/p>\n<p>For live music during apr\u00e8s, La Rond Point is a firm favourite with holidaymakers and resort workers alike.<br \/>This lively bar is located directly on the main Doron Piste leading down to La Chaudanne. It has a huge outdoor terrace with fantastic piste views, which is great for sipping drinks in the afternoon sun.<\/p>\n<p>The &#8220;Ronnie&#8221; has a stage for outdoor live apr\u00e8s entertainment, as well as a snack shack that serves hot food on the terrace until 16:00. This venue is very popular, so make sure you get there early to secure a table before the music starts.<\/p>\n<p>Close to the Biche and Mauduit pistes, you will find the infamous Folie Douce. This place is like a nightclub on the piste during the day; it is an experience everyone should have when visiting M\u00e9ribel. It is located at the mid-station of the Saulire cable car, just follow the sound of the music.<\/p>\n<p>You can book a table so you can get a great view of the apr\u00e8s-ski fun that starts at 15:00. You can expect a fantastic crew of artists, acrobat dancers, singers and musicians.<\/p>\n<p>Another great apr\u00e8s venue for live music is Lodge du Village. You can easily get to it via a short bus ride from Meribel centre. Here you will be entertained by some of the best bands in the Alps while taking in spectacular alpine views from the balcony.<\/p>\n<p>On quieter days, when there is no live music, this venue is a warm and cosy place to hang out in a great atmosphere.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"alt-font\"><span data-text-color=\"primary\">Nightlife<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Sometimes you just want to have a drink in a decent bar, for some relaxed drinks in the evening. This is where Barometer comes in, as it doesn&#8217;t offer live music or apr\u00e9s entertainment. But, it does offer an extensive wine list and a more relaxed experience than some of the other bars in M\u00e9ribel.<\/p>\n<p>For late-night drinks, you may want to head to La Tavern as an alternative to Barometer. This is an old French pub with more secluded areas for a chat, but it also has live music on certain nights. La Tavern is open until 1 am during winter.<\/p>\n<p>For something a little more lively, you should check out Le Pub. Le Pub is not far from the post office and is a large venue ideal for late-night fun. It features a dance floor, stage and a pool table area. Le Pub is open until 02:30 every night and is popular with people wanting to extend their night out with great live music.<\/p>\n<div class=\"video video-fit mb box-shadow-2\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"La Folie Douce M\u00e9ribel | Incredible Dance Show \ud83d\udc83 Great Food \ud83e\udd59 &amp; Amazing Views \ud83c\udfd4 (4K)\" width=\"1020\" height=\"574\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4x2P0t_3UIY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\" class=\"alt-font\"><span data-text-color=\"secondary\">Eating on the Mountain<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When you are skiing the slopes of M\u00e9ribel, you will need to fuel yourself up for your day. Luckily, there is little chance of you going hungry, thanks to the abundance of mountain restaurants.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Adray Telebar<\/strong> is a firm favourite lunchtime stop off on the mountain. Here you can dine on the south-facing terrace or enjoy gourmet delights from the Brasserie, such as daily special, meat from the grill, local specialities, and its famous cutlet. You can also choose from the restaurant&#8217;s selection of snacks or book a table for the evening to sample Savoyard delicacies.<\/p>\n<p>A visit to M\u00e9ribel is not complete without eating at <strong>Le Rok<\/strong> at least once. You can access this restaurant from M\u00e9ribel-Mottaret by the Pas du Lac gondola, which is ideal for non-skiers.\u00a0Le Rok&#8217;s view is only rivalled by its atmosphere, thanks to its fun and friendly staff. Relaxing in one of the deckchairs on the terrace while taking in the view is a fantastic experience, as is the food.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Le Clos Bernard<\/strong> is located near the slopes but hidden away on the edge of a forest. You can enjoy a fantastic lunch in their traditional dining room, of traditional Savoyard cuisine. Expect meat and cheese platters, foie gras, salads, pasta, tartiflette, croziflette, fondue and raclette. But the highlight for many is the selection of local meats grilled on wood fire; choose from beef, lamb, pork sausages or chicken and choose your sides and sauce.<\/p>\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_1886691015\">\n\t\t<a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.topsnowtravel.com\/accommodation\/manali-lodge-signature-suite-kinabalu\/\" >\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner image-zoom image-cover box-shadow-2 dark\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1020\" height=\"680\" src=\"https:\/\/www.topsnowtravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Meribel-Top-Snow-Travel-14-2-1200x800.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"Meribel Top Snow Travel (14) 2\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.topsnowtravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Meribel-Top-Snow-Travel-14-2-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.topsnowtravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Meribel-Top-Snow-Travel-14-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.topsnowtravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Meribel-Top-Snow-Travel-14-2-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.topsnowtravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Meribel-Top-Snow-Travel-14-2.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1020px) 100vw, 1020px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"caption\">Le Rok M\u00e9ribel - \u00a9 Top Snow Travel<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\t\t\n<style>\n#image_1886691015 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 90%;\"><em>Great food &amp; breathtaking views from the terrace at Le\u00a0<\/em><i>Rok restaurant in M\u00e9ribel<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\" class=\"alt-font\"><span data-text-color=\"secondary\">Eating in the Resort<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>M\u00e9ribel itself has a wide range of fantastic restaurants where visitors can enjoy wonderful lunches and dinners. You will find something that will suit your budget and your taste very easily. At lunchtimes, most restaurants will offer a &#8216;Plat du Jour&#8217; (dish of the day), usually made from locally-sourced meat, potatoes and a salad or seasonal vegetables.<\/p>\n<p>Being in the French Alps, you can enjoy local food in many restaurants, but one of our favourites is <strong>La Kouisena<\/strong>, which situated in L&#8217;Eterlou Hotel, close to the Chaudanne piste area. This is an excellent place for traditional cuisine, fondue, raclette and pierrade. But, the best fondue restaurant in M\u00e9ribel has to be <strong>La Fromagerie.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>La Grange<\/strong> offers a large menu with enough offerings to please everyone. The south-facing terrace is an excellent spot for lunch while taking in the beautiful surrounding scenery and the fabulous food.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Beefbar<\/strong> in the Hotel Le Coucou is a unique dining experience allowing you to try food that you wouldn&#8217;t usually be served in other restaurants. You can expect rare meats such as Black Angus from Argentina and the USA, Australian Wagyu and Japanese Kobe beef.<\/p>\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_587837391\">\n\t\t<a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.topsnowtravel.com\/accommodation\/chalet-pearl-courchevel\/\" >\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner image-zoom image-cover box-shadow-2 dark\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1283\" src=\"https:\/\/www.topsnowtravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Restaurant-La-Kouisena-Meribel-Top-Snow-Travel-2.jpg\" class=\"attachment-original size-original\" alt=\"Restaurant La Kouisena Meribel Top Snow Travel 2\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.topsnowtravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Restaurant-La-Kouisena-Meribel-Top-Snow-Travel-2.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/www.topsnowtravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Restaurant-La-Kouisena-Meribel-Top-Snow-Travel-2-768x493.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.topsnowtravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Restaurant-La-Kouisena-Meribel-Top-Snow-Travel-2-1200x770.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.topsnowtravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Restaurant-La-Kouisena-Meribel-Top-Snow-Travel-2-1536x985.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"caption\">Traditional Cheese Fondue (Fondue\u00a0Savoyarde) at La Kouisena Restaurant in M\u00e9ribel - \u00a9 Top Snow Travel<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\t\t\n<style>\n#image_587837391 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 90%;\">M\u00e9ribel provides plenty of dining options from traditional French cuisine to fine dining experiences<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\" class=\"alt-font\"><span data-text-color=\"secondary\">Non-skiing Activities<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Meribel does cater to non-skiers and skiers that fancy a day off the mountain, with some alternative activities.<\/p>\n<p>Those that are not skiing or snowboarding can enjoy the fantastic facilities at the Meribel Olympic Sports Centre. Here you will find a very nice swimming pool, ten-pin bowling, ice-skating and a climbing wall. These are all great for families and for people wanting to sample some of the other things M\u00e9ribel has to offer.<\/p>\n<p>Twice a week, M\u00e9ribel market offers a range of stalls displaying a selection of cheeses, cured meats and confectionery. This is perfect for self-catered guests that want to cook with local produce.<\/p>\n<p>There is a cinema which plays VO films (Version Original), so you don&#8217;t need to worry about the language barrier. There are also many high-end clothes and gift shops to flex your credit card in.<\/p>\n<p>But, here are some more non-skiing related activities you might want to check out during your visit to M\u00e9ribel.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"alt-font\"><span data-text-color=\"primary\">Snow Shoeing<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>M\u00e9ribel and Mottaret have lots of scenic walks around them. Mottaret has a nature reserve where skiers are not allowed, but shoe shoers are. Snowshoeing is a great way to see the mountains in a way that you may not have previously. Spot wildlife as you walk through the forests on an organised snowshoeing trip with a guide.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"alt-font\"><span data-text-color=\"primary\">Ski Joering<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Combine horseriding with skiing by being towed around by a horse while you are on skis. You need a basic ski level for this unique winter activity, but once you have had your introduction, you can enjoy the picturesque route through the forest.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"alt-font\"><span data-text-color=\"primary\">Dog Sledding<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Take charge of your own traditional Alpine sledge and team of dogs as they take you through Meribel-Village&#8217;s forest. This is a thrilling activity that should be at the top of everyone&#8217;s list when visiting M\u00e9ribel.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"alt-font\"><span data-text-color=\"primary\">Snowmobile<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Popular with thrill-seekers and petrol heads, snowmobiling is great fun. You can either ride your machine solo or with a passenger and swap halfway through the tour if you wish. If you are more experienced or want a more challenging route, you can opt to go on a safari-style course.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"alt-font\"><span data-text-color=\"primary\">Hot Air Ballooning<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>A more tranquil way of seeing the alpine views from the sky is in a hot air balloon. Wrap up warm and take in the vistas as you gently float over the peaks. You can make the flight extra special with an airborne champagne breakfast. Flights go every morning, weather permitting, and each flight lasts 1\u20131.5 hours.<\/p>\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_524098615\">\n\t\t<a class=\"image-lightbox lightbox-gallery\" title=\"M\u00e9ribel - \u00a9 Sylvain Aymoz \u2013 M\u00e9ribel Tourisme\" href=\"https:\/\/www.topsnowtravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Meribel-ski-resort-31-1200x856.jpg\">\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner image-zoom image-cover box-shadow-2 dark\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;margin:px 0px 0px 0px;\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1020\" height=\"728\" src=\"https:\/\/www.topsnowtravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Meribel-ski-resort-31-1200x856.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"Meribel Ski Resort (31)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.topsnowtravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Meribel-ski-resort-31-1200x856.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.topsnowtravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Meribel-ski-resort-31-768x548.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.topsnowtravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Meribel-ski-resort-31-1536x1096.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.topsnowtravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Meribel-ski-resort-31.jpg 2047w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1020px) 100vw, 1020px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"caption\">M\u00e9ribel - \u00a9 Sylvain Aymoz \u2013 M\u00e9ribel Tourisme<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\t\t\n<style>\n#image_524098615 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 90%;\"><em>There are plenty of winter activities such as tobogganing, snow shoeing, scenic flights, fat bike, horse riding&#8230;<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"alt-font\"><span style=\"font-size: 100%;\" data-text-color=\"secondary\">How To Get To Meribel<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are a few ways you can reach Meribel; many travellers fly to reasonably local airports, take the train or drive. We recommend booking a private transfer to Meribel from the train station or airport. This makes your trip straightforward and stress-free. Here are a few ways on how to get to Meribel:<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"alt-font\"><span style=\"font-size: 100%;\" data-text-color=\"primary\">How To Get From Paris To Meribel<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Meribel is very well connected to Paris thanks to the fantastic high-speed TGV trains. These trains provide an exceptional experience, especially as you can watch the scenery glide by as Meribel gets closer.<\/p>\n<p>The town of Mo\u00fbtiers has the nearest train station to M\u00e9ribel. The journey from Paris to Mo\u00fbtiers takes about 4 hours and 30 minutes, depending on the date you travel. You can catch a local bus to get from Mo\u00fbtiers to the ski area. These run several times a day, with a 45-minute journey to M\u00e9ribel centre.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"alt-font\"><span style=\"font-size: 100%;\" data-text-color=\"primary\">How To Get From Geneva Airport To Meribel<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>One of the easiest ways to get to M\u00e9ribel is on a private transfer. Getting to Meribel from Geneva by road takes about 2 hours and 15 minutes. However, it can take longer on snowy days and during peak weeks.<\/p>\n<p>You may be tempted to hire a car from Geneva Airport. Doing so gives you flexibility for visiting other resorts, but remember, Meribel is in the 3 Valleys, so there is more than enough to do during a trip. You also need to consider that you may have to drive in the snow, which can be stressful.<\/p>\n<p>Another thing you need to consider when it comes to driving is that your car needs to have snow chains or snow tyres fitted. In fact, it is required by law in some French departments, including Savoie, between November and March. It is for these reasons that we recommend booking a private transfer.<\/p>\n<p>You may be interested to know that you can book a helicopter transfer from Geneva Airport to Meribel. This reduces your travel time, so you can enjoy time in Meribel much sooner. Our travel experts will be able to arrange this for you when you book your trip.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"alt-font\"><span data-text-color=\"primary\">Getting to M\u00e9ribel \u2013 Route &amp; Travel Time:<\/span><\/h3>\n\n<p><script src=\"https:\/\/fast.wistia.com\/player.js\" async><\/script><script src=\"https:\/\/fast.wistia.com\/embed\/36g5mqjn8l.js\" async type=\"module\"><\/script><\/p>\n<style>wistia-player[media-id='36g5mqjn8l']:not(:defined) { background: center \/ contain no-repeat url('https:\/\/fast.wistia.com\/embed\/medias\/36g5mqjn8l\/swatch'); display: block; filter: blur(5px); padding-top:56.25%; }<\/style>\n<p> <wistia-player media-id=\"36g5mqjn8l\" aspect=\"1.7777777777777777\"><\/wistia-player><br \/>\n\n\t<div id=\"gap-1744820798\" class=\"gap-element clearfix\" style=\"display:block; height:auto;\">\n\t\t\n<style>\n#gap-1744820798 {\n  padding-top: 50px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\" class=\"alt-font\"><span style=\"font-size: 100%;\" data-text-color=\"primary\">Why Book your Ski Holiday to M\u00e9ribel<\/span><\/h2>\n<div>\n<p>The beautiful ski resort of M\u00e9ribel has everything you want from a high-end French ski resort.
