 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hey I'm new here, had a quick search but found nothing much so first post it is.
Anyway there is 4 of us going to meribel motterat in a couple of weeks, my question is what is the best way to get back from meribel to motterat after partying? I know there is a free bus but the last bus it 12pm from meribel centre and TBH some nights will probably be later than that! Is there a decent taxi service with a rank which people use or would you have to pre-book one?
Thanks.

Martin., There are taxis, but not being late types (old, boring, sad etc) we have never had to use them. I believe they can be a bit on the expensive side. Be aware that Mottaret is very spread out. Once had to climb from Mottaret centre to the top by the Hameau (lots of steel steps) and it nearly killed me. There is a good and by 3V standards cheap bar at the top of the Hameau.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

We had a few nights out in Meribel while staying in Motterat, we'd mostly make an effort catch the bus back at 12 and have a few drinks back at the apartment. Although, one night went straight to the bar after skiing and caught the last (wrong) bus taking us down the mountain. A cab back up to Motterat was pretty expensive and took about 30 minutes to arrive once we'd made the call.

The Croc is more of a restaurant than a bar as such. The bar I am thinking of is the one in the Hameau itself. If you get off the bus at the top of Mottaret by thye little roundabout, it is in that bulding upstairs. Can't miss it really. It is cheap by 3V standards.

So yeh I just got back, I thought incase anyone else needs this information I'll post it.
The navette (bus) runs from motteret to meribel and vice-versa until 12 midnight last bus, after then you're left with the taxis (well unless you want a hike up a very long, cold and dark green run then 500 steps to the top of Mottertet) We caught the taxi twice and it cost 30 euros both times and they seat upto 8 people, so not bad at all if there is a few of you. The best chance of getting a taxi come closing time is right outside Dicks Tea Bar as they line up out there, be warned a nice big que can form so try and sneak out half an hour before closing if you can.
Bars in Motteret are alright but nothing comapred to Meribel, the only good thing is the happy hours tend to be from 6-7 instead of 4-5.
Hope this helps someone.
