(Most decent skiers spend the first hour every morning getting out of the Meribel valley to find some decent thrills!) There are Ski Schools aplenty, loads of half decent restaurants around the valley and really easy access for pedestrians up the mountains so that Granny can meet you with the kids at lunchtime! All the facilities that you could possibly need are in the resort including Professional Ice Hockey!! The final comment is that people who only have French as their main language struggle in Meribel IT'S VERY VERY ENGLISH

Wow! This place is great. I had trouble finding ski touring equipment (Randonee as it is known in…read moreFrance) as most ski places do not carry it. I went with a friend to another (not Sport 1600) nearby ski shop where they only spoke French, had lost his reservation he made online and they literally threw the equipment at him and made no effort to make sure it fit or be helpful in anyway. Some locals suggested I try Sport 1600 and I am so happy I did. The staff all spoke English and French (as well as a selection of other language) and were very friendly and helpful. They took great care to make sure that everything fit perfectly and made sure I knew how to use the bindings (very different to nordic or alpine ski bindings). They offered to come to my accommodation to fit my gear for me but the weather was good and it was a short walk up the hill to find them. The equipment was excellent and well maintained. I emailed the shop ahead of time and they were expecting me and had the right size equipment set aside for me. The staff were so helpful and kind and the ski gear was great. They also had a good selection of clothing and other equipment in the shop. I highly recommend Sport 1600 and will be back next time I am in Meribel.
