Meribel Mottaret Apartments

Mottaret Apartments Locations:

They are located at a height of 1750m, 300m higher than Meribel Main Town. This means that on occasions it might rain in Meribel but snow up higher in Mottaret. Very important to remember this if you are driving up as you may need to put snow chains on as you leave Meribel town, by Chaudanne.

Most Mottaret apartments are ski in and ski out.

Mottaret apartments were created in the 1970’s  as part of a purpose built ski station so most were built near the pistes so you can ski out of your door in many cases.

Mottaret Apartment Prices

Prices for Mottaret apartments are usually a little lower than similar ski in ski out accommodation in Meribel main town. The reason is that here there are so many. Ski in ski out apartments right by the piste in Meribel are much harder to find. Sometimes you might even need to catch the free Meribus to the slopes.

Mottaret is in the very centre of the 3 valleys ski route if you are visiting all the Trois Vallees in one day. It is only 30/40 minutes skiing to Val Thorens centre via the Plattieres gondola and the Cote Brune chairlift. Mottaret apartments on the laitelet side mean you can ski down to Plattires Gondola. Mottaret apartments on  the Chatelet side means just a short walk to the gondola. Most will have an excellent view of Mont Vallon, the highest mountain in the valley.

Skiers renting Mottaret apartments have a choice of 15 restaurants and 3 very good supermarkets. The biggest supermarket is in the Mottaret commercial centre near Mottaret Tourist Office. One is at Chatelet and the other is up in Le Hameau complex on the laitelet side.

Mottaret apartment rental can be a wise choice for the very best skiing / snow conditions at the start and very end of the season. In April the snow tends to melt a lot in the hot sunshine lower down the valley. Therefore the higher up the mountain you are the better for snow conditions.

We have and excellent choice of over 70 self catering Mottaret apartments. They come in various sizes and standards to suit any group or family. Remember the French do tend to squeeze you in a bit so prices are depending on the total square meters of the whole accommodation. All will have ski lockers and most will have a sun balcony. All are suitable equipped with kitchen, bathroom or shower room , toilet obviously. Many have French TV. Wifi is possible by satellite. You buy this at the Mottaret Tourist Office about 9 euros per day. Less if you buy for the week.

Skiing In Mottaret:

In Mottaret alone you have some superb skiing. Mont Vallon has 2 of the best red pistes in the alps, both about 5km long. In the morning Mottaret gets early sunshine in the area of Sitelle and the snow park. Catch Plattieres gondola or the 6 man chairlift from the centre. It is a great accommodation choice if you want some early morning skiing in the sun. If you wish to ski over to Courchevel and it’s sunshine you just jump on Pas Du Lac gondola for approx 10-15 minutes ride to the top of Saulire mountain. For Meribel just ski a few minutes down the Truite green run to Chaudanne centre. It is just 20 minutes to Les Menuires and 40 minutes to Val Thorens. Just get the first 9am lifts to avoid the queues. Pick up my 6 day ski guide for the best runs each day.
