After skiing, you can continue your sliding day at the ice rink. Open during the day, it offers various themed evening events, perfect for a fun night out with the kids. When you think of a winter sports resort, you can’t forget about ice hockey. And in Méribel, this sport holds a special place because the Olympic Park ice rink hosts hockey championship matches that bring together locals and visitors from the 3 Valleys. The season runs until March 15, so it's easy to go cheer on the Bouquetins, the nickname for the players of the Courchevel Méribel Pralognan Hockey Club.
