Summer family holidays

Your family summer holidays in the Alps

Méribel summer holidays are built around shared moments as much as individual ones. Families ride together on the Bike Park’s gentle e-MTB trails, hike side by side along Lake Tuéda, or take on the via ferrata as a team before splitting up for an afternoon at the spa. Everything sits within walking distance or a free shuttle ride, in a valley where alpine tradition and Savoyard hospitality run just as deep as the surrounding peaks.

What makes Méribel a family-friendly resort?

Méribel was built with families in mind long before it became a trend. Over 200 km of marked trails for hiking and cycling, clubs organised by age group from 18 months to 16 years, and accommodation ranging from cosy chalets to spacious residences: every detail is designed to make a family stay genuinely easy.

From the nursery for toddlers to the Sportkids programmes for teenagers, every age group has a club built around what they’re actually ready for, so parents can step away knowing their children are having a blast safely.

The Olympic Park

The Olympic Park brings eveything under one roof. It starts with a dip in the 25-metre pool, complete with a waterslide for children aged 6 and over. From there, the complex unfolds into something closer to an indoor playground: table tennis, a badminton court and a summer roller rink keep kids and teenagers busy for hours, while a climbing wall waits for those who want a real challenge.

Parents, meanwhile, can slip away to My Spa by Pure Altitude, set within the same building, for a quiet moment before everyone reunites for the day ahead.

Accommodation in Méribel

From wood-clad chalets with their own garden to spacious residences just steps from the village centre, Méribel offers accommodation built around how families actually spend their days outdoors. Many properties include a garden, a terrace and almost direct access to the trails, so coming back from a day of hiking or biking feels just as easy as heading out.

Méribel Bike Park

Built for every rider

The Méribel Bike Park isn’t just for downhill purists. Alongside the technical DH and enduro trails, six e-MTB routes wind through alpages and forest, giving families an easy way to ride together, enjoy breathtaking views without anyone getting left behind on the climbs.

Helmets, protective gear and all types of bike are available to rent in resort, so there’s no need to arrive with your own kit. For older kids who want to test themselves, the green and blue downhill trails offer a gentle introduction to this sport.

And for those craving the real deal, the G Force, Méribel’s former World Cup downhill course and Red Line, with its huge jumps along the ridgeline are ready to deliver.

Fantastic hiking trails

With over 200 km of marked trails, Méribel has a hike for every member of the family, from a gentle stroll around Lake Tuéda to a full day out on the ridgelines above the valley. The summer lift network opens up even more options, carrying hikers straight to altitude so families can reach panoramic viewpoints without the long climb, or simply walk downhill at their own pace. Along the way, expect mountain lakes, glacier views, alpine meadows and the occasional chamois crossing your path.

From easy marmot-spotting loops to genuine summit climbs, Méribel has a trail for every kind of day.
