Admire the torchlight descent
Torchlight descents are a cherished tradition in many ski resorts. Méribel is no exception! Every Wednesday evening, the esf Méribel instructors invite you to admire their snowy ballet, LED torches in hand.
After their ski lessons, children can also take part, to the delight of their parents, who will be waiting for them, their eyes filled with emotion. The torchlight descent is a suspended moment that illustrates all the magic of the mountains.
Cut yourself off from the world at the Refuge de La Traye
To the north-east of Les Allues, the Refuge de La Traye awaits you for an extraordinary experience at an altitude of 1,600 metres. A blend of luxury, modernity and authenticity, the refuge offers a welcome bubble of serenity and disconnection.
Although the refuge is accessible by car, the more adventurous will opt for a hike rewarded by exceptional views of the peaks.
Try a new activity with biathlon
