MERIBEL 12/25/24- We MOST HEARTILY RECOMMEND a stay at Résidence Pierre & Vacances Les Ravines, in the district of “Les Allues” but do not be confused, this is in the very heart of Meribel, not the village of Les Allues!!! You could not ask for a better location for your stay to ski and explore the 3 Vallees. Although the reception is not open all day, the hours are not really inconvenient, they are open in the morning and in the afternoon, best of all if you are arriving when the reception is closed, there is a baggage room with a coded lock, and you will be provided this code upon request, you can deposit your luggage then explore the village to obtain a ski pass or rent equipment. We mostly interacted with Gonzalo, who was conversant in several languages and always had a smile and warm greeting for us.
There is the Casino- not for playing blackjack but for buying any type of coffee, lait, baguette, fromage or whatever you want (including a very reasonable bottle of Crozes-Hermitage) for your stay.
50m away is an excellent sport shop with everything you could want for your stay including ski rental. I really appreciated them for the expert ski boot adjustment that relieved very painful pressure. There is an access to the slopes located there (with escalator), so you need only walk about 75m. The room had a double "murphy" bed and 2 bunks, small kitchen and a tub in the bath. Great view to the West. Small kitchen with fridge, coffee pot uses cone filters. WE LOVED IT THERE!
