Program for a weekend of pure relaxation

December 27, 2024

Who hasn't wanted to break away from the daily routine and go to new places?

Whether for a weekend or a few days, adding a touch of change helps refresh the mind and break free from daily routines.

The mountains are the perfect destination to take a rejuvenating break, immersed in nature. With its calming landscapes and a variety of sports, leisure, and gastronomic activities, Méribel is the ideal resort to slow down and focus on one thing: your well-being.

So it’s decided: head far from the hustle and bustle of the city for fresh snow, sunshine, and a blue mountain sky for your next weekend getaway.

To give you a glimpse of what’s in store, we’ve put together a 100% detox and disconnection program.

Saturday at 9 AM: Enjoy breakfast with a view of the mountains.

Eat well for an action-packed day 🥐

After a restful night, the sun’s rays gently filter through the bedroom curtains. It’s time to wake up and head to the terrace or balcony for breakfast.

Coffee and tea are served, and fresh pastries are waiting on the table. All that’s left is to rise slowly, catching a glimpse of the snow-covered mountain peaks.

In our bakeries, you’ll find a variety of treats to fuel you for the day ahead. Restaurants like La Grange also offer delicious brunches.

Saturday at 10 AM: Ski the 3 Vallées under the sun.

It’s time to get ready for a day on the slopes! Don’t forget your sunscreen, which will be your best ally throughout your weekend in Méribel.

Once you’ve got your lift pass, head to the gondola. To start the morning right, take the Tougnète gondola and stop at Tougnète 2. Ski down the Crêtes and Faon slopes before joining the Perdrix run that descends towards Méribel-Mottaret. Enjoy the wide open runs and the freshly groomed snow under your skis.

Then, take the Truite run to return to Méribel-Centre or hop on a shuttle from the “Mottaret-Office de Tourisme” stop.

After a morning of skiing, hunger sets in. At the edge of the slopes, several mountaintop restaurants and snack bars are waiting for you.

The smell of hot dishes will whet your appetite.

On a sunny terrace, refuel in a lively and friendly atmosphere.

With a full belly, it’s time to hit the slopes again!

Saturday at 2 PM: Ski in the bright sunshine with stunning panoramas.

Escape on the world's largest ski area.

We recommend heading towards Col de la Loze to enjoy the slope bathed in sunlight all afternoon.

If you have a 3 Vallées lift pass, head towards the Lac Creux run and take the Chanrossa chairlift. You’ll reach Col de Chanrossa and be at the gateway to the Vanoise National Park, with stunning panoramas.

If you prefer to have fun on the Méribel Valley ski area, ski down from Col de la Loze via the Pic Bleu run.

Lounge chairs are even waiting for you by the slopes for a 100% relaxing moment in the sun.

For the more active, head to the Olympic Park for physical activities. You can also unwind in a relaxation area with a jacuzzi, sauna, or hammam.

Samedi à 20h : dîner dans un restaurant de la station

Whether you’re in the mood for raclette, tartiflette, Savoyard fondue, a homemade burger, or wood-fired pizza, the resort’s restaurants will leave you craving more.

If you’re spending your weekend with a partner, choose a warm and intimate setting and indulge in Savoyard dishes to share together.

Sunday at 10 AM: Hike among the pine trees.

Because a weekend of disconnection also involves moments spent in the heart of nature.

Head to the Altiport via the hamlet of Morel. This route is very pleasant, offering a mix of forest landscapes and open glades.

The trail has sunny sections and can be done on foot or with snowshoeing, depending on the snow conditions.

Once at the top, enjoy the beautiful view over the Méribel Valley. To recharge, opt for a picnic with locally sourced ingredients, freshly bought in the morning. For the return journey, take the free shuttle towards La Chaudanne.

We recommend checking with the Tourist Office for trail conditions before you head out.
