Meribel destination reviews
Dave Carter has been in Meribel
We had a really great time in Meribel. The snow was great & the chalet girls were lovely.We captured a last minute deal with a little company called Ski Blanc.Found a half price bargain on meribel-unplugged web site.Great place to look for deals.Although we were out of the main town it was fine with their shuttle buses and the lift only 5 minutes away. Meribel is a fabulous place to stay to explore the 3 valleys ski area. We were in Val Thorens or Courchevel in no time. The apres ski in Meribel is best. The "The Rond Point" bar must be the best in the French Alps with great live bands every afternoon and dangerously strong "Toffee Vodka". It was the place to go every day. At night in Meribel the Pub is best but in Mottaret one night we had the best party ever on their famous Rock Party Night with the owners letting everyone dance on the tables (including the DJ who works there). Restaurants prices are sometimes higher than the mountains but in the Rastro Bar we found the little guide book written by local season workers so make sure you find a copy.It saved us loads of money for cheap (and very good) lunches. We had lovely Lamb and pasta in the middle of Courchevel 1850 with wine for 13 euros each!!! Down the piste a bit they were paying 25 euros for an omelette! In Mottaret the best value we found was the Zig Zag for lunch, (9 euros) traditional fondue with atmosphere Tuesday night at Le Rastro. In Meribel best place to eat lunch is Rond Point for friendly service,great food and reasonable prices for Meribel. IN Les Allues best is Tsaretta where we ate on Chalet girls night off. Fab food and lovely service.We paid £20 each for a nice meal with wine. Skiing was best in Courchevel, 20 minutes away and Val Thorens 45 minutes. St Martin was a lovely village for lunch in the sun. All in all a great place to ski and have fun. We are going back in Jan 2005 (Its cheaper and quieter on the slopes at this time). We hope this has helped you if you go to Meribel. Do go. It's superb there.
