• Maya Altitude: right at the top of the Tougnète chairlift, between Méribel and Saint-Martin-de-Belleville, the Maya Altitude, which will open in December, is part of the Maya Collection. With its capacity of 400 diners, Himalayan-inspired decoration and a 360° panorama of Mont Blanc and the Belleville valley, it already promises to be an exceptional venue. The host, Christophe Hulot, offers “bistronomic” cuisine and meat cooked to perfection in a charcoal wood oven.

New lifts

• Olympe gondola: The previous cabins have been replaced by taller ones which hold 6 people, and which are now accessed without steps.
• Bouquetin chairlift: A 6-seat high-speed chairlift (open to non-skiers) has replaced the Plattières 3 gondola lift. This whisks you to the slopes of Saint-Martin and Les Menuires in just two and a half minutes.
• Roc de Fer tunnel: A new 8.50m wide, 5m high and 50m long tunnel has replaced the old Roc de Fer tunnel. This improves skier flow in the area, and avoids having to make a detour around the competition piste during events.
