Snowshoeing in Méribel
For an immersive experience, there's nothing like snowshoes. They allow you to explore less frequented areas and admire the mountains from a different angle.
Tip: bring a thermos of hot drink and some snacks, and let yourself be guided by the silence of the snow-covered forests.
Nature walks and Lake Tueda
Lake Tueda is a must-see for family walks or photography. The trail around the lake is accessible and offers superb views of the surrounding peaks. For more information on trails and activities in Méribel, visitthe Méribel tourist office.

If the weather permits, for a long hike or snowshoe walk, set off early in the morning and walk along Lake Tueda, then climb up towards the Refuge du Saut. You will find peace and quiet in the heart of the Vanoise National Park.
