It was my first time skiing and Ski D Light made it a fantastic experience! I was there with my boyfriend (an experienced skier) and we had David as our instructor. David was a great teacher - clear, patient, reliable and skilled. I was soon going around by myself and feeling confident to do so. He even took my boyfriend for a few harder runs while I took a breather! Plus, he gave us a great recommendation for lunch and was great to hang out with!

Arriving last week of February we were welcomed by Abby and Tj who looked after us extremely well throughout our stay . We were a party of 14 consisting of 8 adults and 7 children . The chalet is warm and comfortable , and homely , ideal for families who want to feel relaxed with children The chalet is ideally placed for the ski shop ,( down stairs , very efficient ) the bus stop 20mtrs away and the bubble 5 minute walk. Ski Blanc staff were all warm, friendly and helpful. We had a ski locker at meribel centre which i would recommend if you have children. We used the ski blanc minibus most evenings to return to the chalet after a couple of hours of apres ski . We would recommend ski blanc who were excellent .Our whole group agree Tj and Abby made us feel very welcome throughout our stay , Tj's breakfasts and evening meals we excellent and Abbys cakes and biscuits were superb. We did hear the early morning deliveries on a couple of occasions about 5.30 am , but to be honest we were all that tired from great skiing it wasnt a problem . The hot tub was a bonus , it was emptied and refilled during our arrival day which was good to see and both children and adults thoroughly enjoyed using it.

At 2500m, La Folie Douce Meribel is an original concept combining La Petite Cuisine, a modern self-service with excellent value for money, and the restaurant La Fruitière, recognised for local products and high quality of service. A show with dancers, singers and musician will entertain you during your lunch, and then you can go dancing on the dancefloor.

We went a couple of times to Folie Douce at lunch time ( including the last show before the resort got shut down because of the Coronavirus) and each show featured lively music, brilliant costumes, and some incredible dancing - a very memorable way to spend lunch while skiing!! The food is well prepared, tasty and reasonably priced ( a lot more expensive at the restaurant adjoining the FD) . It is a real party atmosphere even though the country was about to be shut down. Hopefully can go again next year.

Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 51 reviews
Set out to discover the world of the Arctic! According to legend, a long time ago the Inuit people took refuge in the heart of the Altiport forest because it reminded them of their distant lands. Since then, skiers have been transported into the Inuit world, enjoying games involving chimes, igloos, ice fields, penguins, bears and seals. Halfway along this piste you will find the Inuit Village, the ideal place for little adventurers to take a pause in the Far North. While their children enjoy the games organised by Inuit entertainers, parents can relax in the Méribel sunshine. This year, the Inuit Village will be even more fun, offering new games and entertainments to amaze the children. And the littles ones who have been good will discover the Inuit are generous with their gifts.
