Winter Adventures

For those looking to immerse themselves in the beauty of Méribel’s snowy landscape, there are plenty of thrilling outdoor activities to enjoy. Start with a heart-pounding ride down the Mission Black Forest toboggan run, where 3.4 km of twists, turns, and high-speed straights promise excitement for the whole family. Experience the slopes by night during the regularly held night sledging events throughout the winter, complete with music and hot chocolate—an enjoyable activity for all!

Unique experiences

Méribel also offers a variety of unique experiences that go beyond the typical winter activities. One of the most enchanting ways to explore the valley is through a horse-drawn sleigh ride, where you can snuggle up under blankets as you glide through the picturesque snowy landscapes. Or, for adults and children alike, try horseback riding at Ranch Nordiq for a snowy trek through the forest.

For an unforgettable adventure, try ski joring, an exhilarating activity where you are pulled on skis by a horse—a blend of skiing and equestrian excitement that’s sure to be a highlight of your trip. If you’re interested in exploring Méribel from a different perspective, consider a light aircraft flight, which offers stunning aerial views of the entire region.
