A TASTER OF WHAT'S NEW
- The “La Saulire” cable car is back linking Courchevel with Meribel. This unforgettable ascent, made possible following a €10 million investment, features new panoramic and comfortable cabins equipped with the latest lighting and sound technology designed to take 1,500 skiers per hour.
- The new ultra-modern complex at Caron 3200 is opening this winter in Val Thorens. One of the highest buildings in the Alps, Caron 3200 features a brand new restaurant, wine bar and observation terrace (with snack bar) along with a 80 sqm space for events and exhibitions. With 360° views, including Mont Blanc, the building is located right next to the “Cime Caron” gondola which connects Val Thorens to Orelle.
- This winter, Val Thorens is also opening a new gondola to replace the “Les 2 Lacs” chairlift. Costing €16 million, it will operate at up to 15 mph, and features 61 cabins each with 10 seats and has a capacity to whiz 3,500 skiers uphill per hour. It opens on November 23, 2024 providing ski-in/ski-out access to “Grand Fond”, between the “La Bee” zip line and the “Moutière” chairlift. Beginners and children will also benefit from a specifically designed boarding gate.
- In St Martin de Belleville, the “La Bellevie” wellness centre opens this season, thanks to a €17 million investment. This peaceful haven has indoor and outdoor pools, a sauna, a jacuzzi and an event space for 500 people, all designed with energy efficiency in mind. It's an invitation to discover the art of well-being in a serene, calming and modern setting.
- The big news in Orelle is the first hotel in the resort is opening. The “Evi Hob Orelle” hotel-hostel hybrid stands out for its strategic location right by the Orelle cable car and has extensive communal spaces including a lounge, a bar, games area, a restaurant and coworking space.
- Everyone knows of Michelin star resturants. Michelin has launched a similar scheme for hotels called Michelin Keys. In Meribel, Hotel «Le Kaila» has been awarded one - the first hotel in the resort to achieve this new accolade.
- In Les Menuires, the team behind the value for money HO36 hotel is opening a new property next door called Hotel Alpeen which has wonderful views of Pointe de la Masse and - weather permitting - is ski in/out.
- In Meribel and St Martin de Belleville new viewing decks have been built to give guests rest and observation areas with super mountains views.
- In Brides-les-Bains, the famous Grand Thermal Spa is opening late every Thursday (until 10pm) with a free bus connecting the resort with Meribel to make it easy to get to this retreat and enjoy its facilities.
- Also in Brides-les-Bains, the new Meri Bellecombes Villa Parc apartments are opening this season - comprising 22 luxurious flats - which are right by the Olympe ski lift for easy access to Meribel.
