At the top of "Plan des Mains" chair lift and Chatelet and the Plattières gondola, your picnic spot is reserved for you on this gorgeous plateau at the top of Méribel’s ski area.
Dining with such a stunning panorama: priceless !
No need to book a table to enjoy a sublime panorama in the Wild, Wild East of the 3 Valleys (Courchevel Moriond). Tuck into your picnic whilst looking over at Mont Blanc and the surrounding peaks that look almost like the Grand Canyon… Don’t forget your sunglasses!

Take a moment to look up from your sandwich or slice of cake and you may just spot some wildlife looking back at you from mountains opposite.
With a keen eye and a little patience, you can usually pick out the chamois (disguised in their grey jackets) among the crags. It’s their favourite place to hang out in Courchevel so you have 99% chance of seeing one!

Between the bottom of the Chanrossa and Marmottes chairlift, you’ll find the picnic tables just behind the Chanrossa lift station.
For a hot snack or just to warm up before heading back up the lifts, take a well-earned break in the “PIKNIC’N RELAX” room which is located under the Pas du Lac gondola in the centre of Méribel-Mottaret.
It has sofas, a kitchen, wifi, smartphone charging points and more… Just don’t relax so much that you forget to go back out on the slopes!
