Méribel – The summer Must

Summer in the Alps is a season like no other.

The dramatic mountain vistas take on a whole new form, shedding their snow-capped peaks for lush green valleys, heavy pine forests and stunning vistas. Walkers, mountain bikers, climbers and nature enthusiast replace the winter slope worshipers.

However fewer snowboards and skis doesn’t mean there is a dearth of things to do. With bountiful space, fresh air and exceptional views residents and tourists alike profit from the Alpine air. Indeed, now more than ever, Méribel is proving its popularity as a year round resort.

Just 200km from the financial and commercial hubs of Geneva and Lyon, Méribel has it all. An active community, a wealth of sporting and cultural events, heavenly cuisine and don’t forget some of the best views in the whole of the French Alps.  This year sees an extended summer season to welcome the Tour de France.
