Things to do
From world-class skiing to exciting après ski activities, Méribel provides families with exceptional experiences and everlasting memories. Here are some of our top recommendations for things to see and do during your stay.
Your family adventure in Méribel wouldn't be complete without exploring the extensive Les Trois Vallées ski system, with 600km of interconnected slopes and over 130km of cross-country trails. Ski schools in the area cater to all ages and abilities to ensure everyone can make the most of this incredible location.
For non-skiers or those looking for a break from the slopes, the resort offers various activities such as snowshoeing, ice skating, husky sledging, or even having a family game night at the local bowling alley. In the summertime, Méribel transforms into an outdoor adventure playground, perfect for family hikes, mountain biking, horse riding, or exploring the nearby Vanoise National Park.
Each village within Méribel offers its unique charm, and a leisurely stroll through the picturesque streets lined with traditional chalets and welcoming cafes will be a delight for the entire family. Be sure to make time to explore the local shops, restaurants, and weekly markets for a true taste of Alpine culture.
No matter the season, Méribel is an enchanting destination for families, providing unforgettable experiences of the great outdoors, world-class accommodation, and an abundance of fun activities for all ages.
When to visit
The best time to visit Méribel with your family will depend on your preferences and holiday activities. If you're chasing excellent skiing conditions and a lively atmosphere, February during the French school holidays is perfect - but be prepared for busy slopes and children's ski schools.
For quieter pistes and great snow without festive celebrations, January is an excellent choice. March and April offer sunny lunches, softer snow, and end-of-season deals on accommodation. Bear in mind that the quality of snow may decline in March. While May, June, July, and August offer a range of outdoor activities for families in the stunning alpine landscape. Remember, it's best to plan your family holiday around school breaks to avoid any issues.
