Hiking trips in the great outdoors

Starting from Méribel, there are several options for unique day trips. Mountain lovers won’t be disappointed by the many spots the resort has in store for you. Here’s a brief look at our favourites.

Let’s start with the Lacs du Mont Coua, a hike of around 20 kilometres, during which you’ll enjoy spectacular views. The lakes follow one after the other, each offering an incredible view, with crystal-clear water and breathtaking surroundings. If you’re lucky, you might even spot a few ibex.

Closer to Méribel, you’ll also find the Chanrouge Lakes, situated just above the Saut mountain hut. Let yourself be captivated by the emerald-green water during a long walk. You may spot marmots there and observe them in their natural habitat.

Hidden villages and their fascinating history

Of course, the surrounding countryside has plenty to offer for outings that will help you reconnect with nature. However, for history and architecture enthusiasts, we also suggest setting off to explore the hidden old villages and the wonders they hold.

From the Baroque church in Les Allues to the Moulin du Raffort, not to mention the sawmill, you can choose from a range of fascinating excursions that will help you discover the region in a whole new light. Whatever places you’d like to visit in Méribel and the surrounding area, our guides will tell you everything there is to know about their history, ensuring your activities are both fun and informative.
