Christmas…

The word alone is enough to make children’s eyes light up… and adults’ too! Whether you’re young or old, still believe in Father Christmas or not, one thing is certain: Christmas holds a magic like no other. To fully experience this enchantment, there’s nothing better than snow-covered fir trees, sparkling garlands and brightly lit chalets. In Méribel, this setting is not just a film set, because here at Christmas, the mountains are transformed into a truly enchanted landscape.

Ready to give your children a holiday they will never forget?

A truly unique setting

Imagine waking up in a cosy chalet, with snow-capped mountains stretching out before you and the slopes of the Cœur des 3 Vallées at your feet.

Winter is here, and already the resort is undergoing a transformation. In Méribel, the magic of Christmas isn’t just a backdrop: it’s an atmosphere. The air is filled with the scent of warm wood and mulled wine, shop windows are adorned with sparkling decorations, and snow covers the chalets with a pristine blanket. An authentic, warm Savoyard atmosphere… but with that little something extra, reminiscent of our favourite Christmas films!

Fun activities for all

In Méribel, the magic of Christmas isn’t just something to be admired, it’s something to be experienced! There’ really is something for everyone. Whether it’s snowing or the winter sun is shining, the days are filled with a thousand and one experiences to share with family, friends or even on your own. The mountain’s must-do activities are of course on offer: skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing… From the morning onwards, beginner or an expert, strap on your skis and hit the 600km of slopes in Les 3 Vallées. But Méribel has many other surprises in store: night-time tobogganing, the Olympic Park swimming pool, or even a horse-drawn carriage ride… there’s inspiration for everyone’s personal Christmas story. Here, there is no timetable, only the desire to enjoy yourself, have fun and feel alive.

Celebrating Christmas in Méribel means treating the whole family to a holiday in the heart of the Alps, in a majestic setting enhanced by the magic of the festive season. A special time, where every memory can be etched in your mind forever.

Traditional accommodation

In Méribel, the Christmas spirit is also evident in the places where you stay.

Here, accommodation is not just a roof over your head for the night, it is a real haven where you can find the warmth and soul of the mountains.

Wooden and stone chalets, residences with alpine charm, hotels close to the slopes… Authenticity reigns supreme. Each place offers its own advantages, combining Savoyard tradition with modern comfort. Then, when night falls, the facades light up, the fireplaces crackle and everything invites you to relax: wool blankets, hot drinks, views of the snow-covered rooftops. The atmosphere becomes peaceful and time slows down. A true refuge after a day on the slopes.

Whether you dream of a chalet for the whole family, a cosy flat for two or an all-inclusive holiday, Méribel offers you a timeless ‘home away from home’. Here, the accommodation is designed to allow you to experience the mountains to the full… and savour the magic of Christmas.

 

Entertainment for all

The magic of Christmas is also expressed through a programme of events, rich and varied, which enliven each day and brighten each evening.

As soon as the sun rises, the resort comes alive and becomes a veritable theatre of celebration. Musical parades wind their way through the streets, spreading good cheer. For the younger ones: head to the Inuit Village! Face painting, ice sculptures, magic, archery… A fun space where every activity becomes an adventure.

Once night falls, illuminated parades wind their way between the chalets. Warm up with a hot drink or a Savoyard speciality in one of the many restaurants in Méribel. Then comes 24 December and the moment everyone has been waiting for: the arrival of Father Christmas in a horse-drawn carriage in the heart of the village. Eyes light up, smiles are wide and memories are etched forever.

Each day brings its share of surprises and each evening writes a new memory. In Méribel, the entertainment is a time for sharing, emotion and wonder, making Christmas an enchanted interlude.

In Méribel, the festive season is a real experience to be experienced, enjoyed and, above all, shared. Everywhere you look, the mountains exude magic. Eyes light up with wonder, laughter rings out, smiles are on everyone’s lips and the mountains seem to tell a story:

Once upon a time, there was Christmas in Méribel.
