Things To Do And See In Meribel, France

With the advent of fall, you might be one of those people who can’t wait until the ski resorts open. You might want to take a holiday in the French Alps to see a new country. If you do choose to holiday in France, you can do these activities. I use to work for modern web development company and last year we went to visit Meribel and enjoyed our holidays and we did many things to make our tour more memorable.

Sking

Winter sports are popular in this area of France, which is located in the French Alps. Skiing, snowboarding and more can be found at the Meribel Ski Resort. If you are planning a holiday to go skiing or snowboarding, you will enjoy a perfect event that is fun for the whole family and friends. You have a number of choices available in Meribel. You can enjoy the slopes, then come inside for warm food and drink.

White-Water Rafting

During the fall months, you might enjoy rafting down the rivers in Meribel. The Northern Alps within the regions of the Savoie and Haute Savoie, are full of great rivers, such as the Haute Isere, the Doron de Bozel in the Vanoise mountains, the Dranses de Savoie in the Chablais, the Cheran in the Bauges mountains, the canyons of Annecy offer lots of opportunities for various rafting experiences. You don’t need any technical skills to venture down a river on a raft. You don’t even have to be in good shape. White water sports are accessible to all who love the natural environment and who are in search of a bit of adventure. Yet you do have to be in good health, know how to swim and not be afraid of going under water.

Car Racing in December

France's most prestigious ice-racing series stages one race each season at the French ski resort of Val Thorens. The Andros Trophy has been running since 1990 and attracts the world’s best drivers and car manufacturers. A glamorous and spectacular event, it consists of further races in mountain resorts namely: Alpe d'Huez, Andorra, Isola 2000, Lans en Vercors, Serre Chevalier with a grand finale pitting the leaders against each other in the Stade de France, Paris.

Christmas Holidays in Meribel

You might enjoy seeing a white Christmas in a new country. Meribel guarantees that you will have a white Christmas. It’s also beautiful. Christmas is a far less commercial event than in the United Kingdom and so you won’t find things publicised for months in advance, but you can always be sure of a glass of vin chaud (mulled wine), a few carols and perhaps the odd firework or two! Many of the restaurants will put on a special festive menu with champagne and traditional dishes on the 24th, so book in advance if you want to treat yourself to a meal.

Touring the Villages and Towns

You can visit shops in the small towns in the area. You will find unique gifts to bring back to family members. You will enjoy the time looking at the different boutiques. This time will be special for you no matter where you go.

Take time this fall or winter to holiday in France. You’ll come back with great memories.
