Founded by a British Colonel, Peter Lindsay, in 1938, and proud co-host to the 1992 Winter Olympics, the resort owes its perennial popularity not only to its extensive skiing possibilities, but also to the attractive chalet-style architecture.  The area is favoured by those looking for tranquillity and discretion without wanting to compromise on the ski offerings.

In the heart of the Les Allues Valley, Méribel chalets are at the centre of the world’s largest ski area, Les Trois Vallées, offering access to over 600km of pistes and unlimited off-piste. As well as the two main resorts, Méribel and Méribel-Mottaret, the valley also includes a number of traditional villages. Holiday makers and those looking to invest have an excellent range of properties to choose from. The property market in Méribel has something for everyone, in all its different altitudes: Méribel, Méribel Village, Les Allues, Le Rafford and Mottaret.

Most Méribel ski chalets are pretty and wooden which are spread over the mountainside, while an excellent sports centre, a well-maintained legacy of the 1992 Winter Olympics, offers pools, climbing walls and an ice rink.

With strict planning rules and a forward thinking environmental policy targeting reducing emission, environmental impact and waste, Méribel is conscious of the longevity of the resort. The latest plans for the resort showcase a modern, vibrant resort with a truly international edge. A minimum of available land to construct new residences ensures the price point of residential sales property remains stable in the area, ranging between €6,000 to €25,000 per sq m dependent on location and style.

It is said that Méribel takes its name from the Latin 'mirare bellum' meaning 'the point from where the view is beautiful' and as proud advocates of Méribel, the community here and the lifestyle, we couldn’t agree more. Méribel chalets profit from the significant investment to the area in recent years with vast changes in infrastructure, facilities and amenities, including modern chair lifts, new slopes, snow park facilities plus extensive children’s facilities, which received the coveted Family Plus award.

This important evolutionary phase of the resort extends to the development of the popular Belvedere slope and we look forward to sharing further plans for this interesting development. Such investment and interest in the location will surely be boosted by the presence of the 2023 World Ski Championships that will capture media attention, further funding, facilities and top level talent.

We also have a range of chalet rentals in Courchevel, if you'd like to find out more please contact a member of the team.
