For a traditional hotel with fab slope access, the Tarentaise hits the nail on the head. It sits right on a green run, so even beginners can ski to and from the door once they’ve learnt the basics.
Things are simple and welcoming inside, and the rooms really make the most of the location too, with views of either the valley or piste. But the heart of the hotel is the bar and lounge area, where you can flop on a sofa by the big stone fireplace, play a game of pool or take your drink out to the terrace to watch other skiers and boarders whizz past.
Rustled up an appetite? The restaurant here has you covered morning and night, with big buffet breakfast spreads and 3-course evening meals. You can even pop in and pay for an à la carte meal at lunchtime if you fancy it.

Meribel has a special place in many Brit's hearts – not simply because it’s right in the middle of the biggest ski area on Earth. A resort for long ski days, ski-boot-stomping après and cosy chalets, there’s a great deal to do and ski here, which is why many of us have been coming back for decades.
