Meribel Budget Apartments
Meribel apartments come in all sizes but normally you will find
them very small and a bit cramped. Just treat your apartment
for what it is. A basic Meribel ski holiday, in self catering
accomodation, with all the necessary items for a comfortable
week.
Most apartments come with small modern kitchen,
including dishwasher and fridge, and obviously toilet and bath/shower.
Most usually have a basement ski locker.
Bring your electric plug adapter + FM radio.
(Radio Meribel is excellent:
-97.9/98.9fm) |

Very few have washing machines so bring several
pairs of ski socks, as the one Launderette in town is always very
busy. A studio for 2 persons can usually take 4 with a push. A
4-person apartment usually has one bedroom for 2 people and a bed
settee in the lounge area for the other two. A 5,6,7 person apartment
usually has two bedrooms with a bed settee. The two bedrooms will
typically have a bunkroom for 3 and twin bed room for 2.Apartments
in Meribel are usually well heated with abundant hot water. Most
apartments do not allow access till 4pm on the day of your arrival.
If you plan to arrive in the morning try to arrange with the rental
agency for somewhere to store your gear. It is really frustrating
if you arrive to excellent conditions and you cannot go skiing
for want of somewhere to leave your luggage. Saturdays are also
the quietest day on slopes just to rub it in!

IMPORTANT MERIBEL TIPS.
Driving:
If driving to Meribel bring snow chains or buy them at Albertville
in Geant Casino (much cheaper than the Motorway). Fill up with
diesel in Moutiers and in December & January add antifreeze
to it.

Travel tips
Parking:
Parking is a nightmare in Meribel, but the underground car parks
near the piste at Chaudanne and Rond Point are very reasonable
for whole day parking.
Free parking in Meribel is at the main Ravines car park in the
town centre, and also past Chaudanne Ski lift station, 200yds under
the bridge towards Mottaret. If you park 100yds up there is a pedestrian
bridge over the river, from which you can ski back down to the
centre.
If the cops tow you away, go to the Municipal police station at
Chaudanne Olympic centre. (Have your wallet ready!)
Apartment Location:
If you are not driving check out the location of your apartment
before booking. The buses are free in meribel but very crowded
in high season. Apartments are situated all over Meribel. Try to
get one near the centre as the resort is now very spread out.

Shopping:
Most supermarkets stock everything you will need for a one week
skiing holiday but bring your own English tea bags. French tea
bags are weak and very expensive.
The only Launderette is self serve and is situated at Chaudanne.
It’s a pain as it is so busy.

Skis & Boots:
Heated ski lockers are available at Chaudanne at the main lift
station. Well worth it for the convenience. Freeride at Chaudanne
will also give you free storage if you rent there.
