Local Transport & Parking in Meribel
Méribel has an excellent free bus service which runs until around midnight (and the service to the outlying villages has been much improved). A car might be useful if your accommodation is in one of the villages not served by the Olympe gondola lift, or a long walk from the pistes and away from the bus routes. Most Tour Operators offer a free minibus service to their clients. Information and timetables for the public transport system can be found in this section, along with parking information for car drivers.
