When the skis are off and the slopes are calling a break, Méribel offers a wealth of exciting non-ski activities to keep your winter getaway unforgettable. From scenic snowshoe hikes and exhilarating ice skating to cozy spa retreats, there’s something for everyone-even those who prefer to relax and soak up the alpine atmosphere. Discover new adventures beyond the pistes and make every moment count, whether you're with family, friends, or flying solo.

Snowshoeing

Fancy a walk in the snow without sliding down a mountain? Strap on some snowshoes and head off on a peaceful stomp through snowy forests and alpine trails. It’s basically hiking, but fluffier. No skills needed, just warm boots, a bit of curiosity, and ideally, a camera (for those unreal views). Guided walks and gear rental are easy to find in resort, and there’s even the option to go at night… head torches and all!

Ice Skating

Some people may like to swap ski boots for skates at Meribel's Ice Rink. Whether you're gracefully gliding or clinging to the sides with style, it’s a fun way to spend an afternoon off the slopes. Great for families, date nights, or just a good laugh with friends—plus, it’s warm, dry, and there’s usually hot chocolate nearby. What’s not to love?

Swimming

If you're needing a break from all the fresh powder, head to the Olympic Centre pool in town for a splash in the heated indoor. It’s perfect for a few leisurely laps or just floating about while your legs recover. There’s even a slide for the kids (or big kids). Towels and swimsuits are available to hire if you didn’t pack yours, don't stress!

Spa Relaxation

Méribel has a lovely selection of spas where you can unwind in style—think saunas, steam rooms, hot tubs, and heavenly treatments. Perfect for soothing tired ski legs or escaping the cold with a bit of luxury.

Perhaps you'll want to try Deep Nature Spa - L'Hévana with a wellness circuit with sauna, steam room and hot tub, all followed by dome down time in the relaxation rooms or the Olympic Centre's Spa, featuring two saunas, two steam rooms, a spacious Jacuzzi, and a relaxation room with herbal teas. Massages and beauty treatments are also available for booking. Alternatively, want to relax without leaving your chalet? Our team can arrange for professional massages and treatments to come straight to you, so you can enjoy total comfort and unwind in your own space. Just let us know what you need, and we’ll take care of the rest!

Enjoy! And if you're looking for a place to stay in Meribel then you could do no better than take a look at our catered ski chalets…
