Plan a packed-lunch stop at the Mottaret base

Open tip ↗

Meribel tourism lists a free-access picnic area at the Pas du Lac gondola departure on the Mottaret snow front. Packing lunch gives you an alternative to buying every meal on the mountain. Build this stop into your route and check the listing before your trip; the page does not promise indoor shelter or current snow clearance. Lift access and transport are separate costs.
