Mottaret
A resort in the heart of the Three Valleys, Mottaret (linked to Meribel by a free resort bus) makes a perfect base for holiday skiers wanting to explore this famous area.
Mottaret is a modern but attractive timber clad village. Ideal for skiers who want variety: over 200 lifts serving 600km of well-kept pistes you can ski all week without fear of repetition, this is intermediate heaven. Beginners have plenty of uncrowded nursery slopes at both village level and higher up and experts can tackle the infamous Courchevel couloirs and Chanrossa bumps. Forest runs down the valley are inviting on low visibility days while sunny conditions suit expeditions to Val Thorens, Europe's highest resort.
Mottaret has a choice of bars and restaurants including Le Rastro which always has a good buzz. Meribel has an indoor swimming pool, ice-skating rink and Turkish baths. The liveliest apres-ski and nightlife is found in Meribel with bars and restaurants to suit every taste.
