概要

 If you place your finger on the center of the Three Valleys map, you land on Méribel. But this isn't just a geographical center; it's the soulful alternative to its neighbours, Courchevel and Val Thorens.

In the season premiere of Transfer to Alps, hosts Liam and Chloe explore why Méribel is known as "Little England" in the Alps. We uncover the fascinating history of Colonel Peter Lindsay, the man who founded the resort in 1936 to escape the politics of Austria, and established the strict "Anti-Concrete" architectural code that remains today.

In this episode:

  • The Geography: Why staying in the middle of Les 3 Vallées gives you the ultimate skiing freedom.
  • Architecture: How the Savoyard style (wood and stone) saved Méribel from the "concrete block" era.
  • Centre vs. Mottaret: Understanding the difference between the charming village (1450m) and the high-altitude satellite (1750m).
  • The Secret Weapon: Why the tree-lined pistes make Méribel the safest bet during bad weather ("Jour Blanc").

Whether you are looking for the legendary après-ski at The Rond Point or a family-friendly chalet, this is your audio introduction to the resort.
