Meribel has a host of activities on offer
for both après ski and for the non-skiers in your party. Here are just a few
ideas to whet your appetite.
There are over 25kms of scenic pedestrian
trails around Meribel and Mottaret. There is also a pedestrian lift pass for
those wanting to get higher or further. Many of the mountain restaurants can
be accessed directly from the gondola, so non-skiers can meet up with the rest
of the team.
In addition there is an Olympic ice rink, a
bowling alley, indoor swimming pool and a well-equipped fitness centre.
Other popular activities include,
snow-biking, snow shoe walking and of course shopping! There are over 35
shops (in addition to ski hire shops) to empty your wallets and entertain
you.
For even more thrills, there is a sledge
run, snow karting on the ice rink, ice climbing, paragliding, dog sledding
and rock and ice climbing. There is also the opportunity to do scenic
flights from the local airstrip, and even hot air balloon flights.
If you have any energy left after all this
Meribel has over 30 bars and 3 nightclubs, to keep you busy every night of
the week. Happy hour starts straight from the slopes as early as 4pm and
continues until late, with some bars staying open as late as 4am, with
dancing and live music.
With so much to do off
the piste, it is not hard to see why Meribel is as popular with non-skiers
as it is with skiers.
