Having spent the last few weeks in Australia setting things up, we are now proud to open the doors to Independent Summer. We still have a fair bit of tweaking to do on the website, but the summer operation will be worked on for the next few months so that we can have a detailed list of properties on the east coast of Australia should you want a nice hot getaway over the cold winter months.
Méribel offers a large number of marked walking paths, of varying length and difficulty.
Walks can be undertaken alone or with a guide, more details.
High mountain areas are open to adults and also to children from the age of 6, offering a whole range of sports such as mountaineering, climbing, canyoning, vie ferrate, more details.

On the theme of Mechanical Music and Image.
Once again this year , the Village streets of Les Gets will resound with the sounds of barrel
organs. With shows, concerts, exhibitions and events, the festival retraces the high
points of changes in image and sound: barrel organs with their magic lanterns,
living pictures, phonographs, mechanical musical instruments accompanying
silent films and then used in talking films.
An original way of discovering Mechanical Music!!!
