The unspoilt Alpine charm of Meribel is the most likely reason for its incredible popularity and why it continues to draw skiers from all over the world. The other reason is its accessibility and abundance of other winter sports on offer. Along with the familiar non-skier activities such as Husky Dog Sledding, Toboganning, Snowmobiling and Paragliding, Meribel is also well positioned to enjoy the Ice Driving Academy at Val Thornens, a short drive up the mountain. As seen on BBC's Top Gear Val Thornens has the Alain Prost Ice-Racing Track where you can drive Renault Clio's, Megane's, Twingo's Sprint Buggy's, Mitsubishi Evo 6 and Silhouette Racing cars. The track hosts the first race of the Trophie Andros Ice Championships which include some very famous Formula 1 drivers. The 1992 winter bobsleigh track is also easily accessed from Meribel too. We can helicopter your guests over the most breathtaking scenery of the French Alps to arrive at the Albertville winter bobsleigh track where you can take part in the most thrilling activity that the Winter Olympics has to offer!
