Morning: Forest Charm & Valley Views
Start at: Chalet Cerf Rouge
Leave the comfort of Cerf Rouge and take a short 5-minute stroll through the charming Méribel Village to reach the Golf chairlift. A perfect and easy way to warm up leg muscles before taking the first lift.
Lift: Golf Chairlift → Altiport, then up Altiport 8-person chair
Ascend through snow-dusted pine trees to the peaceful Altiport area.
Warm-Up Run: Altiport (Green)
Mainly used as a beginners area as it is wide and gentle, a green run that winds through the forest – perfect for warming up your legs.
Lift Sequence: Altiport → Legends → Tougnète 2
Make your way to the Chaudanne, the main “font de Neige” in the centre, then up Legends and Tougnète 2, to the ridge that connects Méribel to St. Martin de Belleville. Take some time to do your choice of runs (Blue, Red, and Black) in the Cherferie bowl facing Méribel, before making the final run Choucas and the Cherferie lift.
Run: Jerusalem (Red)
Drop onto Jerusalem, a legendary blue piste (red option at the top) with rolling terrain and stunning views into the Belleville valley. Sing on the descent to see if you can finish verse two before the run joins Biolley.
Lunch: Alpine Elegance in St. Martin
Stop at: Le Montagnard
Located in the heart of St. Martin de Belleville, Le Montagnard blends traditional Savoyard charm with refined cuisine. Enjoy dishes like slow-cooked lamb, truffle risotto, or local cheeses, paired with a glass of Savoie wine on their sunny terrace.
Afternoon: Méribel Elegance or Party Fun
Lift Sequence: St Martin 1 → St Martin Express
The choice in the afternoon depends on whether lunch was long. If time allows, don’t miss Pramint (Red) alongside the St Martin Express or even take the Granges chair and add a sneaky Grand Lac. Either way, allow time for a glass of champagne at Maya Altitude, a short distance from the top of St Martin Express.
Stop at: Maya Altitude
This upscale mountain restaurant offers champagne on a panoramic terrace with a DJ, a perfect warm-up for après-ski.
Run: Faon (Blue)
Return to the centre via Faon, then around the Tougnette lift station before continuing to Perdrix (Green) and Truite (Green).
Return to Méribel Village
Lift: Rhodos 1 and 2
Ride back to above Altiport, then descend on the Altiport run.
Final Run: Lapin (Blue)
Finish your day with a relaxed descent down Lapin, returning to the base of the Golf chairlift.
Walk: 5-Minute Stroll to Cerf Rouge Chalet
Unclip your skis and enjoy a short walk back to Cerf Rouge chalet, where the hot tub, a glass of wine, tea, or a roaring fire await.
If you miss the late-closing Rhodos lift, it’s a short free bus ride back to Méribel Village.
Après-Ski Option
Stop at: Lodge du Village
If you’re not quite ready to call it a day, pop into Lodge du Village – right by the Golf lift – for live music, vin chaud, and a buzzing terrace, before heading home for a relaxing soak in the Cerf Rouge hot tub.
