Top choice in Savoie
It would be an omission to leave Méribel without skiing straight up to the terrace of the 'Ronnie', shuffling to the bar in ski boots, and ordering the house speciality, toffee vodka, perhaps sloshed into chocolat chaud (hot chocolate). Snow-kissed fir trees provide the view until live music lights up the stage (most nights from 5pm to 6.30pm).
Meals and snacks are served from 11.30pm until around 6.30pm.
