Why Méribel Accommodation Sells Out Early (and How to Secure Yours)?
Imagine yourself leaving your front door with your boots on and the Three Valleys ahead of you. Ski holidays such as that do not come by coincidence. Yearly, the number of visitors who need Méribel accommodation outgrows the available space. Below is what one needs to know.
A Season That Fills Fast
Those needing Méribel ski season accommodation usually ski from early December until late April, provided that there is enough snow. During that period, Méribel receives guests from all over the world. This includes families, friends, and more experienced skiers. In high season they all compete for the number of available places not already booked. The village is quite widely spread out these days. Most rental properties are now privately owned.
Chalets or Apartments: Which Suits Your Group?
Your accommodation usually can affect the entire holiday. Therefore, Méribel chalets are the best choice for those who require more space, a large open living area, and, in some cases, additional features such as a hot tub, sauna, & cooked meals. They also work best if you prefer to relax as a whole group after skiing.
Méribel apartments are perfect for couples and smaller groups that require flexibility. You get the benefit of self-catering, which means you can eat at any time. Most apartments are located near the ski lifts and not far from the town centre. There is also an excellent free bus service operating daily throughout the valley.
The Busiest Weeks to Watch
Some dates will be very competitive, while others are not so. The dates around Christmas and New Year, the February school holidays, and Easter tend to be the busiest periods. The early part of December and the quieter periods of January and late March tend to be far less busy, as far as booking goes, and the pistes are also less crowded.
Why Booking Early Makes a Real Difference?
Early booking allows one to have more choices of places to stay, as well as the highest possibility of being able to get the exact dates one wants. It is easier also to arrange all other aspects, including ski passes, ski rental, and restaurants. The question of transport is also crucial. Most people travel to the resort by plane via Geneva, Lyon, Grenoble or Chambéry airports. They then transfer to their resort, travelling for several hours. Like rooms, suitable transfers can be difficult to find in the high season. It makes good sense to book them in advance if possible.
