MÉRIBEL | 1100 - 2952 m                          Les Trois Vallées
Deep in its pine tree setting, the "Heart of the 3 Valleys" carefully guards its reputation. Méribel, a first-class resort with manicured architecture, offers access to 3 Valleys, one of the most beautiful ski domains in all of Europe. As the stage for the women's alpine ski meets for the 1992 Olympic Games, Méribel magically strikes a delicate balance between offering chic and terrains to suit all levels of skiers.
