Meribel Les Allues is the original village of the Meribel valley and very much at its heart and soul. It is situated 7km below Meribel centre, the main resort. Meribel Les Allues has a pretty little centre with five very established restaurants all of which also have their own bars. This cha...

Meribel Village should not be confused with Meribel, Meribel Les Allues or Meribel Mottaret as all four are quite distinct resorts, each with their own character. Meribel Village really came into its own with the opening of the new quad chair lift linking it directly to the vast Three Valleys sys...

Tignes 1800 (Les Boisses) is the quietest of the Tignes ski resorts. It is the first resort you pass after crossing the famous dam below Val d'Isere. Most of the resort is set back away from the main road so driving through on up to Tignes Le Lac you would hardly be aware that a ski resort existe...
