Meribel, like all ski resorts are mainly about skiing. However Meribel does have some alternative activities and some great amenities. There are fantastic facilities at the Meribel Olympic sports centre with swimming pool, ten-pin bowling, ice-skating and even a climbing wall and are all superb choices for an afternoon. There is also a twice-weekly Meribel market with many stalls displaying a selection of cheeses, cured meats, confectionary and the occasional clothing bargain. There are also many fashionable clothes and gift shops.
However, if you are looking for something a little bit special then try Le Ludicur at Meribel’s La Chaudanne Hotel, where you will find treatments such as massage, reflexology, mud applications and other beauty treatments, also on offer are spa baths, sauna whirlpools and a squash court. Good amenities ensure that Méribel has a wide choice for the non-skier.
A pedestrian lift pass can be purchased .There are many scenic walks around Méribel and Mottaret and many of the mountain restaurants can be accessed from the gondolas, offering a chance for a non-skier to meet with friends for lunch at the mountain restaurants and bathe on the sun terraces. It is also possible to get to Courchevel 1850.
