Explorer Pass Is a Game-Changer for Family Holidays in Méribel

Family holidays may look idyllic on paper, but travelling with toddlers or tetchy teenagers rarely goes exactly to plan. In Méribel, at the heart of the Three Valleys, the new Explorer Pass is designed to make things easier – giving families access to more than 30 activities in one simple pass, with plenty to keep everyone entertained without over-planning every day. From mountain adventures for kids to moments of relaxation for parents, it allows families to stay flexible around moods, energy levels and weather. Available from £60 for three days or £86 for six days (valid 4 July–29 August 2026), it’s an easy way to keep a family holiday running smoothly.

Lift-assisted hiking and biking across the Méribel valley

At the core of the Explorer Pass is unlimited pedestrian lift access, opening up Méribel’s vast network of hiking and mountain biking terrain. Visitors can effortlessly ascend into high alpine landscapes before choosing from ridgeline walks, forest trails and panoramic viewpoints, or downhill biking routes through meadows and woodland. The lifts remove the barrier of a long ascent, making the entire valley accessible for exploration at every level.

Swim, skate and relax with resort leisure facilities

The pass includes access to the swimming pool and ice rink at the Méribel Olympic Centre, offering an easy indoor option when energy levels dip or the weather turns. Kids can make straight for the pool’s slides and flumes, while parents relax nearby or join in, and the ice rink provides a simple change of pace with casual skating sessions.

Golf, tennis and open-air sport in the mountains

Visitors can make the most of Méribel’s outdoor sports offering with access to the golf driving range and tennis courts, set within the resort’s alpine setting. At 1,700 metres, the 18-hole golf course winds through forests and alpine pastures, offering a relaxed, scenic way to play at altitude with open fairways and changing terrain throughout.

Guided exploration and family adventures across the mountains

The Explorer Pass combines guided hikes with a range of family-friendly outdoor activities, making it easy to explore Méribel’s landscape in a way that suits all ages. Guided walks bring the terrain to life, highlighting local wildlife, mountain heritage and hidden viewpoints, while interactive treasure hunts add a playful layer of discovery across the valley. Alongside this, families can make the most of hands-on experiences, including inflatable adventure parks, pony rides across alpine meadows and visits to mini farm areas.

E-mountain biking made easy in the Alps

E-biking in Méribel is ideal for more adventurous days out with older teens, offering a fun way to cover more ground without the constant physical strain of uphill riding. E-bikes open up a mix of valley trails, forest tracks and lift-accessed mountain routes across the wider Les Trois Vallées area. Typical family-friendly rides range from around 10 to 40 km, depending on route choice, with options to shorten or extend using gondolas and chairlifts.

Wellness moments in a high-altitude setting

Alongside the adventure, the pass also gives parents a well-deserved chance to slow down and recharge while the kids tire themselves out. Yoga and wellness sessions make the most of Méribel’s peaceful mountain setting, with open skies, panoramic Alpine views and calm surroundings creating the perfect space to properly switch off, stretch out and enjoy a moment of relaxation.

Added value across the resort

To complete the experience, the Explorer Pass also includes discounts with selected local partners, offering added value across dining, activities and experiences throughout Méribel — further reinforcing its role as a simple, all-in-one way to enjoy a summer holiday in the mountains.
