Family ski holiday

The words “family ski holidays in France” evoke magical moments in a winter wonderland where all the family share activities and laughter. Family ski holidays in Méribel mean spending time together enjoying skiing and tobogganing, tucking into hearty Savoyard dishes such as cheese fondue, raclette and tartiflette, spending après-ski by the fireside or enjoying fun or sport in the Parc Olympique or taking part in the many resort entertainments or celebrating in one of its traditional restaurants. Family ski holidays allow you to be together, sharing special moments and creating wonderful memories.

Family Skiing

Come and discover family-friendly skiing in France. Skiing is the ideal activity to share together as a family; even with different ability levels, it is a real family-building experience. The better skiers teach the others; you wait for each other, you tease each other, have fun together and, in doing so, strengthen the family bonds. Méribel offers family-friendly skiing in a resort where everything is done to ensure children and their parents enjoy an unforgettable experience.

You can choose to ski together all day or spend half the day in ski school or with a private instructor and the rest of the day skiing or sharing other activities together as a family. Everything is possible in Méribel!

Méribel is a ski resort perfectly adapted to families. Its large and varied ski area offers you many advantages:

  • Its vast area and wide choice of routes and slopes for all ability levels means it suits all families, giving them safe skiing and maximum enjoyment.
  • Themed slopes, fun zones and snowparks for all ages where you can have fun with your family
  • Lounge areas, picnic areas, restaurants and sun terraces for snack breaks before you head back onto the slopes

Every activity you could want on a family ski holiday

Non-skiing and outdoor activities to share with the family

A family ski holiday is not limited to skiing, especially not in Méribel. This family-friendly French resort offers you specially-designed toboggan runs and night sledging, snowshoeing in the heart of the Altiport pine forest followed by Savoyard snacks in an igloo, fat biking around the frozen Tuéda Lake, pony sledging, snowmobiling and much more…

An aqua-centre for the whole family

At any time of the day, on bad weather days or after skiing, Méribel’s Parc Olympique offers lots of activities and entertainments that will delight young and old alike: swimming pool and ice rink with themed evenings, spa with family packages, climbing wall, ten pin bowling and much more.

Activities for children during your ski holiday

Throughout your stay, you’ll find a choice of activities for children and adults. An activity leader will help little ones discover creative play and all sorts of indoor and outdoor activities, both at the Ludothèque at the Parc Olympique in Méribel Centre and at Maison de la Réserve at the Tueda lake in Mottaret. Through play and fun activities, your children will learn to discover nature and learn about the mountains.

    Family chalet holiday

    Méribel is the chalet resort par excellence, perfect for a holiday in a home-from-home which gives you total autonomy. Many chalets are a little out of the way or in the hamlets and villages of the resort, which makes it ideal if the children and all members of the family can take the free buses whenever they fancy.
