The "chill" spot

Saulire relaxation chalet

At the top of Saulire, the relaxation chalet is one of the best “chill” spots to fully enjoy spring skiing in Méribel. When the sun is at its highest and the deep blue sky lights up the peaks, this place becomes a true wellness break overlooking the immensity of the ski area.

Thanks to the lower visitor numbers at the end of the season and the vast panoramas of the 3 Vallées, settle in comfortably, put on your sunglasses, and soak up the sunlight at 2,700 meters. After your relaxing break, let yourself glide down soft, pleasant snow all the way to Méribel Centre, for a smooth, sun-drenched descent.

A perfect spot to combine relaxation, scenery, and pure skiing pleasure in beautiful spring conditions.
