The Cross-Country Area
In the cross-country skiing area of Méribel - Courchevel - La Tania, a network of 115 kilometres of prepared trails awaits you. The tours lead you through impressive natural landscapes such as the protected area of See Tuéda or the forest area near Altiport. With different levels of difficulty, there is plenty to offer for cross-country skiing professionals but also for beginners.
Those who want to ski around the lake have the choice between a circular trail marked as easy with a length of three kilometres or the somewhat more demanding and longer trail, which also leads through the forest and comes to five kilometres and an ascent of 100 metres. If you dare to do longer tours after these routes, it is best to go to Altiport. Here you will find three more easy trails, but also a technically challenging trail of ten kilometres, as well as a trail to Courchevel (17 kilometres) or La Tania (16 kilometres).
