Meribel summer must-sees
Hiking on a ridge trail
A 30-minute hike takes you to the steep ridges and majestic Aiguille du Fruit, with its sublime 360° panorama and 2 wild valleys below, and the chance to spot chamois. And if you want to continue the adventure, the loop takes you back down to Méribel-Mottaret via the Plagne plateau, in 1h30.
Access: From Méribel-Mottaret, using the Pas du Lac gondola. Route: red for the loop - number 9
Dip your feet in the blue lake
A contemplative stroll accessible to all
It's a 45-minute walk to this emerald jewel nestling at the foot of its rock, where you can bathe or simply dip your feet in...
Access: From Méribel-Mottaret, take the Pas du Lac gondola, then the Vizelle gondola on the way down. Route: color blue - number 6
⇢ Remember: gondolas are free on the way down!
Taking the high road
Rocher de la Loze ridge
Take in the view over the valley and climb to the top of the Rocher de la Loze, get a bird's-eye view of the lake below and realize that it's possible to ski straight down... These bipeds are crazy!
Access: From Méribel-Mottaret, take the Pas du Lac gondola, then the Vizelle gondola on the way down. Remember: gondolas are free on the way down! 1h30 to the summit Route: red color - number 6 ⇢ You can cheat like Edmée and Auguste, our hyperactive and ultra-resourceful little mascots, by completing the first part of the course on an electric bike: a great opportunity to vary the pleasures of outdoor activities!
Touching a 3000m
Without a drop of sweat
Effortlessly, using the lifts of course! Up there, there's no need to engage in extreme sports to create endorphins: you can feel the fresh air of altitude, the view plunges down on the resorts of Courchevel and Méribel, the panorama is 360° on the surrounding massifs: Ecrins, Mont Blanc, Vanoise, Bauges etc etc. You're in such a good place that you lose track of time ... NB - we've been there!
Access: From Méribel-Mottaret, with the Pas du Lac gondola (20min)
Contemplating marmot rituals
Meet our locals
Our little mountain balls love to bask in the sun, and we love to be able to see them up close and personal, without disturbing their daily rituals: rolling in pairs, napping in the sun, nibbling clovers...
Access: 45 minutes to reach the entrance to the Plateau de la Plagne, with its cows, marmots in the sun and the river running through the center of the valley. An idyllic, soothing picture, a much-appreciated boost in these somewhat special times!
