Why Méribel Is the Ultimate All-Season Alpine resort

Summer in the French Alps is a season like no other.

The dramatic mountain vistas take on a whole new form, shedding their snow-capped peaks for lush green valleys, heavy pine forests and stunning vistas. But a lack of skis and snow doesn’t mean there is a lack of things to do; Méribel in summer is alive with activity.

This is a time when nature lovers, hikers, mountain bikers, climbers, and wellness seekers trade skis for trail shoes and explore the region’s wild beauty under the summer sun.

As we head into the 2025/2026 season, it’s clear: Méribel is no longer just a winter ski destination—it’s a true all-year-round resort.

“Just 200km from the financial and commercial hubs of Geneva and Lyon, Méribel has it all. An active community, a wealth of sporting and cultural events, heavenly cuisine and don’t forget some of the best views in the whole of the French Alps.” Ophelie Dupont, Savills Méribel
