Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

meribel advice Do's/Dont's

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
I am sneaking a cheeky lads weeked to Meribel on the31st Jan,staying at the Hotel le Roc in Meribel centre.

A few questions for Meribel regulars please.

A decent hire shop en route to the lifts at La Chaudanne where I assume we can get our lift passes.

Would we need a locker near the lifts or can we ski back to within walking distance on the piste that seems to skirt the the back of Hotel Le Roc.There seems to be some sort of walkway linking the centre of the village with La Chaudanne?

Recomendations for a couple of decent evening restaurants.

Any decent bars/clubs that are not too full of kids.

Or any major Do's or Dont's based on your experiences of Meribel.

All advice most welcome Smile

A few of the group have skiied the 3v's before but no experience of Meribel as such.

Hedley, the lift pass office is actually in the Chaudanne area. The lockers are next to one of the lifts also in the chaudanne area. We always use these but we generally stay further out of the village. As you are in the centre you may be OK dumping your stuff at the hotel before heading out for apres.
Good bars are Le Pub, right in the centre, you can't miss it, and Jacks bar (opposite where the ski buses stop, heading to the left as you walk out of the Chaudanne area.
As for ski hire, our group used Twinners on the main road and again not far from your hotel. Didn't have any problems .

Freeride had excellent kit and are based on the upper level of the group of shops just opposite the roundabout at the chaudanne. Look at the Meribel unplugged website for good bars/events and resto suggestions.

Don't try and speak French, neither the English nor the Australian residents will have a clue what you're on about. Toofy Grin

Slightly more helpfully rolling eyes .... yes, you can almost ski to/from the hotel. There's an escalator that goes up beside the tourist office and gets you on to the track that you can ski down to Chaudanne.

If Chez Kiki is still there, it used to be a very nice restaurant. Bit of a trek up the hill from the centre but chocolate mousse to die for.

 Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

I'll second the Rond Point Apres ski 1 Bottle of Toffee Vodka per person and as many large beers as people in the group never fails to amuse! Freeride is the best hire shop. Have fun!

If you're heading up to the Tougnete, whence you can ski the wonderful Jerusalem into St. Martin, don't use the Tougnete bubble. Take the Plan de l'Homme chair instead and ski down the short blue to the new Tougnete 2 chair.

i am a big fan of the La Kouisena restaurant. also chez kiki does the best steaks if you are up for that.

for a cheap excellent sandwich or panini while skiing go to the take away next door to the castors opposite the tougnete bubble in the chaudanne area.

 You know it makes sense.

Don't end up in Courcheval or Val T when the lifts have shut - its an expensive taxi ride
Don't go out on Wednesday - chalet staff night off and you won't find a table anywhere
