Meribel Mottaret

Méribel Mottaret

Méribel Mottaret

If you're all about getting straight onto the slopes, Méribel-Mottaret is your kind of place. Sitting at over a mile high, it’s the highest resort in the Méribel Valley and right in the heart of the massive 3 Valleys ski area—so you’re perfectly placed to explore one of the world’s best ski networks.

 This purpose-built resort is ideal for skiers who want easy, no-fuss access to the trails, and it’s also a great option for a more peaceful stay than the buzzier Méribel Centre just down the road. You’ll find a handy mix of bars, restaurants, and shops right in the village, and if you're after more variety or a livelier après-ski scene, a free shuttle bus will have you in Méribel center in no time.

 

With great snow conditions throughout the season and no shortage of runs to explore, Méribel-Mottaret makes a brilliant base for your next ski adventure.

The 3 Valleys

The 3 Valleys

At over a mile high, Méribel-Mottaret sits in an unbeatable spot in the Méribel Valley, right at the center of the 3 Valleys with a massive 375 miles of trails to explore. Whether you're into cruisy blues, challenging reds, or just want to clock up serious mileage on the mountain, this place has it all.

Thanks to its high altitude and top-tier snow-making facilities, you can count on great snow conditions all season long. The modern lift system makes it super easy to hop over to Val Thorens, Les Menuires, or Courchevel in no time. One minute you're carving wide-open bowls in Val Thorens, the next you're gliding down those long, scenic reds into Courchevel.

Skiing for all abilities

Skiing for all abilities

For Beginners

A dedicated beginners’ zone in the village makes it easy to get started. Once you're ready, there are plenty of wide, tree-lined runs that offer a gentle and scenic progression.

For Intermediates

With fast, direct lift access across the 3 Valleys, Mottaret is a dream for intermediates looking to cover ground. Don’t miss the Combe du Vallon, a fantastic 3 mile red run that winds down from Mt Vallon to just above the village. 

For Advanced Skiers

Chasing fresh snow? Head to the off-piste terrain below Mt Vallon after a snowfall. If moguls are more your thing, the Le Bosse black run above Méribel offers a serious challenge.

No matter your level, Mottaret gives you front-row access to the best of the 3 Valleys, with a more laid-back vibe to come back to after a big day on the slopes.

Mottaret offers a laid-back yet enjoyable atmosphere once the lifts close. Unwind with a drink and live music at one of the slopeside bars, or, for those who fancy a late night, there’s a small nightclub in the village.

Want to take things up a notch? Just one lift away is the famous Folie Douce, known for its upbeat music, lively crowd, and unforgettable après-ski experience right on the mountain. If you’re taking a break from skiing, the free shuttle to Méribel Centre gives easy access to the Olympic Park swimming pool, ice rink, or a relaxing session at the spa.

Whether you're ready to relax or continue the day's enjoyment, there's always something to do in and around Mottaret.

We strongly recommend you inspect your ski hire equipment at the start of your holiday and agree the state of their condition with the ski hire suppliers, as clients are responsible for the care of their hired equipment and should this equipment be damaged the ski hire suppliers are within their rights to ask for a compensation payment. 

 
Dress Code
On a skiing holiday, dress is generally very informal, the emphasis being on comfort and warmth. We recommend that you pack a pair of skiing trousers and warm ski jacket or a waterproof shell and separate fleece lining or an all-in-one ski suit. Thermal or silk underwear is recommended. Cotton/cotton mix roll necks, T-shirts or sweat shirts; several thin layers are better than one thick layer. 
 
Ski socks, ski gloves or mitts and a hat or headband are suggested. Where temperatures are expected to be well below zero, take a facemask or balaclava. Moon boots or waterproof walking shoes are a must. Suntan cream (high protective factor), lip salve, sunglasses and/or goggles are all very useful items to pack. Casual clothes are ideal for the evenings; it is unusual on skiing holidays to dress formally in the evenings.
Gratuities
We suggest a Group Collection to cover transfer drivers, and hotel staff of CHF30.00 per person or the equivalent in local currency. Your Tour Leader will collect this on your behalf and distribute it accordingly, thus relieving you of the burden of who, when and how much to tip. The tipping of housekeeping will be left to your individual discretion (a small amount left in your room on departure should cover this and would be much appreciated). 
 
As is customary, ‘the hat’ will be passed around for the driver and guide on all optional excursions. For any meals that are not included in your itinerary, or taxi fares, your Tour Leader can advise of an appropriate percentage add on. If you choose to have ski lessons, you may also like to thank your ski instructor at the end of the week with a token of appreciation.
Passports and visas
We recommend that you check passport and visa requirements for the country you are visiting at the State Department if you have a U.S. Passport. Most countries require that your passport have at least six months validity when traveling internationally, and many require that you have one to two blank visa pages for either an entry stamp or visa. As a general rule, please check that your passport has six months validity beyond your planned trip, and if not, please renew your passport with plenty of time to provide Solos with your updated passport information by the final payment due date.

Health Requirements
We recommend that you check if vaccinations are required for your destination at the CDC’s recommendations for your visited destination(s). We also recommend you purchase travel protection. A travel protection plan can often assist with medical emergencies and reimburse costs that are covered by the plan. Please verify coverage details with Solos before you travel.
