Go Fish
Méribel has a wealth of outdoor activities which allow visitors to get back to nature and enjoy the fresh air and spectacular scenery found throughout the region.
Tueda Lake is the place to visit to indulge in a spot of fishing. You will need to ensure you have a permit, and bear in mind that half of the lake is reserved for non-killing fly fishing, but it's an excellent spot to catch some rainbow trout.
Cycle Tracks
Cycling is also a popular Méribel pursuit with the tracks around the resort offering some of the most difficult sections of the Tour de France, this is a cycling enthusiast's paradise. There are plenty of shops available where visitors can hire equipment, making life easy for those who prefer not to bring their own bike. Due to the gruelling routes that are available, a reasonable level of fitness is required to properly enjoy many of the tracks. However, for those who are able to comfortably handle several hours in the saddle - the rewards are vast!
Exhilarating Activities
If the day is particularly warm, canyoning can offer a more unusual pursuit to raise your heartbeat and cool you down! Méribel and the surrounding areas provide plenty of mountain streams, abseiling descents, and natural water slides; this is a wet and wild day worth waiting for. With hiking trails, paragliding, kayaking, hot air balloon rides and much more, there's plenty to keep you busy in Méribel. If you still want a taste of winter in the summer, there are glacier walking tours available from the resort. With breath taking views, this is a must for everyone who visits the Alps.
Raining Day Activities
If you prefer to spend the day indoors, there's plenty to enjoy in the resort. Méribel is home to a sports and fitness centre to cater for all gym, fitness, climbing, and yoga needs. The resort also offers bowling facilities and a cinema to keep families and friends busy in the evening.
Those in search of relaxation can spend an afternoon or whole day at one of the resort's spas. The Deep Nature Spa is particularly popular and offers massage facilities, beauty treatments, saunas, steam rooms, indoor swimming pools and facials.
If you want to learn more about the area there is also Musée des Allues, which showcases the traditions and history of Méribel.
Go wild in the woods
There's plenty to keep the children busy in the resort as well. Treat them to their first helicopter ride for a bird's eye view of the stunning Alps, or spend the day closer to the ground with a visit to one of the Treetop Adventure Courses where they can navigate the ropes, tunnels and swings. If animals are their thing, try horse riding over the mountains, through woods and down into the valleys. Or to make the most of the mountain, Via Ferrata is a great introduction to mountain climbing. Children will get all the thrill of mountain climbing combined with an element of security.
Day Trips
If you'd like to venture out from the mountains for a day, head over to Chambéry. The city is close to the resort and combines the beauty and tradition of France with modern amenities. Visit the most famous monument in the city, the Fontaine des Éléphants, which translates as The Elephant's Fountain and offers a striking photo opportunity. The Cistercian Abbey of Hautecombe is also worth a visit for a taste of the history and culture of the region.
