"Located at the physical heart of Les Trois Vallées, this traditional, walkable village made it easy to access both Courchevel and Val Thorens, which was really important to us. Staying there put us right in the middle of the ski area, and our ski-in/ski-out apartment was walkable to the lifts and had a pool and hot tub where the kids could unwind after long days on the mountain, plus a washer and dryer that made rotating gear far easier than staying in a hotel. Méribel has several kid-focused runs with rolling hills, little tunnels, and forest detours that the girls loved, and they were proud to guide us to their favorite features they’d discovered with their instructors. We also stumbled on a small snowmobile area for children with kid-sized snowmobiles on a short track that cost only about ten dollars and felt delightfully casual and unfussy compared with what we’re used to in the US. A sledding slope with a conveyor belt let the girls do endless laps while we relaxed over cappuccinos at a café at the bottom, adding to the feeling that the town is set up thoughtfully for families and simple, low-stress fun." - Jordi Lippe-McGraw
"A family-friendly ski resort situated in the center of three valleys, prized for wide, sun-soaked slopes and gentle beginner trails that make it ideal for learning and relaxed alpine days; architecturally charming with traditional wooden chalets among pine trees, the resort offers ski-in/ski-out access and a middle-ground vibe between glitzier high-end neighbors and more extreme ski zones." - Sara Lieberman Sara Lieberman Sara Lieberman is a writer and editor with more than 15 years of experience in publishing and media.

"Known as one of France's classic ski destinations, it delivers varied pistes for every level and reflects the nation's deep skiing heritage; visitors frequently pair technical ski boots with trendy sunglasses to complete the alpine look." - SilverKris
