Meribel - Winter Activities and Snow Sports
Meribel plays host to a variety of winter activities and snow sports during the winter months. Whether your looking for the high octane adrenalin buzz of speeding up and down the pistes at dusk or under moonlight on a snowmobile or flying high in the clear blue skies over white snow capped mountains in a helicopter, aeroplane or even with the elements in your face whilst strapped to a professional pilot under a highly maneuverable paraglider wing, the choice is yours!
Due to limited spaces it is advisable to book the activities before you arrive in resort. |
