The wonderful restaurants and fabulous fromagerie are still there, the knock-out cocktails at Le Pub, Dick's Bar, Barometer or Ronnie's are still served, the clear mountain skies are still brilliant blue and the sun just gets hotter.
The three valleys play host to a number of alpine activities in the summer months. These include hiking, Glacier hiking, mountain biking, pony trekking, white water rafting and, not for the faint hearted, paragliding. The Altiport offers a number of flight tours from a short tour of The Three Valleys to an hour long trip across to see Mount Blanc. This is quite an adventure, especially if you have never experienced flying in anything except a commercial aircraft.
A summer visit to Meribel is also a great time to experience one of the stunning chalets at a fraction of the high season cost. Meribel is the to go to destination for Hollywood and royalty alike, there's every chance you could bump into a well known Harry Potter actress or even the future Queen of England. Avery Crest run two exclusive chalets ideal for those seeking absolute luxury and privacy. High season both chalets come with full staff, Miller Harris cosmetics, daily fine dining including champagne and canapés ahead of a four course dinner, shuttle bus service and pretty much anything further that you might require. Annie and her team are world class hosts and provide an exceptional holiday experience. Low season the chalets can be booked on a self catering basis where you are still able to enjoy the fantastic facilities and experience this stunning location.
