A ski holiday in Meribel offers access to one of the largest ski areas anywhere, the world famous Three Valleys. This means there are innumerable fantastic runs, ranging from above-the-tree-line spectacles to amazing winding woodland routes.
Established in 1939 as a tourist friendly ski resort by English colonel Peter Lindsey and funded a private French and British enterprise, Meribel had its first lift installed just before the war but had to be suspended soon afterwards. Once hostilities ceased Colonel Lindsey returned to the area and set about developing, what would become a perennial favorite resort for Brits.
