Great location near to the gondola to Méribel and plenty of restaurants and bars nearby. Spacious room with large comfortable bed. Reasonably priced secure parking. Breakfast was extensive and good quality. Staff courteous and helpful. A far more cost effective option than staying in Méribel etc.

Brides is a lovely small town ideal for those who want to enjoy the ski area of the Three Valleys but who want a more relaxed, low key environment for the evenings. There is a lovely park alongside the river to enjoy an evening stroll. There are a few bars and restaurants but you don't come here for night time entertainment.

It is really unfortunate that the mayor's idea to boost the town as a location for skiers is to put on over-loud and poor quality bands in the town square. This absolutely ruins the experience. Suppose you are tired after a day of skiing and want to settle down to dinner in comfort? How will you feel if all you can hear is amplified drum beats?

Brides-les-Bains is a cheaper and convenient way of skiing the Meribel / 3 Valleys ski area.
The area is quiet but with plenty going on, and lots of lovely restaurants. The gondola is centrally located, there is an Intersport hire shop attached to the gondola but I found this pricier than the central location (2 minutes down the road). You can however, hire lockers from the Intersport located at the gondola station which was really useful, but worth noting that the locker has a space available for individual sets of skis so will need one per person.
Brides-les-Bains is full of lovely restaurants, however it is vital to book. On our first evening we were wondering around for a while trying to locate somewhere to eat. It appears that they have several 'sittings' for dinner and will often put up a sign to say they are full. We then made bookings for the rest of our stay to avoid this issue.

We love Brides Les Bains as it is not wholly a ski resort - it has a character that is more about the valley location and community than the skiing with interesting buildings, a park, a river and valley scenery. It's a fairly quiet village, although it's livelier in school holidays, when there is usually some kind of entertainment on at the end of the day.
Eating out is varied, although there aren't a huge number of venues.
The village offers free parking in a variety of locations.
It is very easily accessed, and we have never been affected by the weather conditions for getting there or getting away.
Accommodation, both catered and un-catered, is plentiful and reasonably priced.
Plenty to do for non-skiers with well sign posted walks and interesting towns nearby.

French town situated in the valley just below Meribel.
French town situated in the valley just below Meribel. It's connected to the three valleys ski area by a 25 minute gondola ride. As it opens 1/2 hour earlier you actually don't miss any skiing.
Everything seems much cheaper than up in the mountains, and for a cheaper option with access to fantastic skiing it's worth considering as an alternative.

Brides great satellite of the 3 valleys.
Brides great satellite of the 3 valleys. Nice bars and restaurants. No too many drunken idiots. Plenty of character. Lift takes about 25 mins to get to Meribel centre. Hence the good value for money. (DO NOT MISS the last lift alternatives aren't good. )Easy to drive to , Bus from the station in Moutiers - 10 mins or so.

The food was ample and a new experience for me. I learnt a new french dish every night. I was expecting duplication of meals over a 9 night stay but every night, the meal plan was different. As all past reviews say, this truly is the closest hotel to the Olympe gondola to get to Meribel. This made the whole stay at this place the best package. The staff are incredibly friendly (even if you cannot speak their tongue). Never did I catch the staff ever having a 'bad day'. Always smiling, nothing was ever an inconvenience.
Natacha, the host, was very helpful and accommodating despite the fact that we arrived towards the evening. The place is just 10 mins walk to the ski lift which takes you directly to Meribel in just ~20mins by gondola. You can find a covered car park next to the hotel which is free of charge (very unusual for France) and just 5 mins walk from the place. The hotel is on the main street in Brides-les-Bains where you can find restaurants and cafes.
We stayed at the Hotel des Alpes for eight nights in March 2024. Room was compact (as expected) but comfortable. We paid for half board. The dinners were excellent. The food was well prepared and plentiful. The wait staff at dinner and breakfast were attentive and pleasant. We enjoyed watching sports and playing board games in the bar during happy hour. The hotel director - Mr. Thibault - was very welcoming to me and my wife.
the hotel is conveniently located with 5 mins walk to the ski lifts. the room was very clean and cozy with amazing views on the mountains. Lady at reception deserves a separate shout out - she went above and beyond offering the advice for food, booking restaurants for us and provided amazing customer service.
The property has everything that someone needs while on vacation… very clean, spacious, great service, and located in a very calm and beautiful area… apartments are fully equipped with everything needed and even more… also parking adds to its greatness even more
Very pleasant, well equipped, and easy studio in the middle of Brides-les-Bains. Well situated for the baths, the boulangerie, the mini market and restaurants etc. Very helpful communications from the hosts and clear instructions on how to check in and out.
Everything was great, especially the staff of the hotel! We were welcomed very warmly and got everything we needed during our stay. The room was spacious with a nice view, and it was only 5 min away from the ski lift! Would definitely come back again!
The property is conveniently located at the base of the Olympe gondolas which take you to Méribel Centre in less than 30min. The hotel has complimentary parking for its guests in the back as well as ski lockers. make sure to request one upon arrival.
The host spoke perfect English and was very helpful. The apartment is exactly as seen in the pictures modern spacious and clean.
The kitchen was well equipped, and easy to use.
We stayed for 10 days very comfortably.
Perfect location for getting to the gondola that takes you up to the slopes of Méribel. Very cute and charming hotel and amazing comfortable beds. Breakfast was simple but enough for fueling before a day of skiing.
Brides les Bains = good. Good ambiance. Hotel, good. Clean, warm, interesting building and locale, plenty of hot water - all you need without the frills.
Paid quite a bit extra for twin bedroom via booking .com-- the staff at the hotel maintained i had booked a double -- then charged an extra hundred pounds.
The hotel is clean, well-located as it’s only 300m away from the bubble lift to Meribel centre, the breakfast is good and it offers a decent room size.
