From the Méribel Village shuttle stop, walk past the pretty Chapelle Saint Sébastien and straight up the lane that leads to the start of the path to Le Blanchot and the Altiport. You can return with the shuttle bus or the Golf chairlift.
As you leave Méribel-Village (2km from Méribel centre), walk past the Chapelle Saint Sébastien, part of the Méribel valley's themed "chapel trail".
At the top of the lane, you'll quickly gain height, and once you reach the reservoirs, you'll be able to see Méribel village at your feet, with the summits gradually coming into view.
Higher up is the magnificent Plaigny plateau, from which you can see the summit of the Dent de Burgin behind the spruce trees.
Climb further through the forest to reach "le Blanchot", from where you can choose to take the shuttle bus again or continue on to the last stop at the Altiport.
Trails could be slippery, depending on condition.
Ask at the tourist office or take crampons and poles.
