Meribel provides a wide choice of property from chalets to apartments and village houses in the many hamlets and villages scattered on the approach to this resort. Meribel has two faces, the long term established friendly family resort and the vibrant young party resort where vodka shot evenings are a daily event. The valley’s entertainment and gastronomic delights are many as it stretches up the mountain from Méribel Village at 1400m to the top of Mottaret at 1800m.
The heart of the resort is Méribel 1450, which houses most of the shops, restaurants, and the lift hub of La Chaudanne. A bi-weekly street market adds colour. It must be noted that Méribel Village and Meribel resort are two separate places. The village is situated a 2 km drive away from 1450, but linked by chair-lift into the ski area. Further down the valley is Les Allues, a growing area with a quieter more local atmosphere, and at the bottom of the valley the spa resort of Brides-Les-Bains is also connected to the ski area by a long gondola. Méribel-Mottaret is a higher satellite situated at 1750m. The different sectors of town are served by a ski bus.
From Méribel an efficient network of lifts link the various Courchevel resorts, La Tania, St Martin de Belleville, Les Menuires and Val Thorens to form one of the worlds greatest ski playgrounds. In peak winter season so many English-speakers congregate here that you could be forgiven for thinking that this was a suburb of south-west London rather than a top French ski resort. Indeed French tourists often find it hard to make themselves understood, so perhaps not the place for you if you are seeking authentic French experience when you stay at your property. In fact the official visitor figures indicate that 45% of the resorts visitors are French with the other 55% being an international mix, with the British at the top of the league at 37.5%.
Meribel the resort and Meribel the ski area is a well conceived ski holiday hot spot and a huge team of professionals keep it running smoothly, providing one of the Brit's best loved ski resorts.

Property Description
Currently run as a successful ski chalet business this traditional chalet is situated in a quiet corner of the Meribel Valley in an idyllic hamlet, only 6 minutes away from Meribel. The resort can be reached by a free shuttle bus service passing through the village. The chalet also has an exciting ski to the door option down the blue run of “villages” which comes in right next to the chalet giving you the feel of the adjoining mountains being your own. You could also drive a couple of minutes down to Les Allues or to La Raffort and catch the gondola from there but it’s generally considered to be easier to hop on the regular buses that run all day.The chalet has a warm and comfortable feel with a huge open fire in the living room. The location provides amazing views which can be admired from the comfort of the balcony or terrace with hot tub. The separate kitchen is a good size and fully equipped, designed for use by a professional chef and currently caters for the ski chalet business which is run here.
There are 6 bedrooms currently used for guests, plus an upstairs apartment with two bedrooms and a further small staff room on the ground floor. At the moment the Chalet is rented each winter by a ski company, who would be interested in renting it from the new owners should they wish to, but this will be at the new owners choice.
On the ground floor is a large garage currently used as a boot and coat room off which is a laundry and boiler room housing copious amounts of hot water. Next to this is the staff accommodation with private bathroom.
Going up to the first floor you’ll find two twin rooms with shared shower but own toilets, one ensuite double, one large ensuite family room with a double and a bunk bed, all rooms have a view.
Moving up to the second floor you come to large living area with views up to the mountains. This leads to outside balcony, terrace and Jacuzzi through patio doors which let in the light and bring the views into the living space. There is also an ensuite bedroom on this floor.
Lastly we reach the third floor with an ensuite double and a private apartment that can be accessed either from inside or outside the chalet with two bedrooms, a bathroom and kitchenette and lounge area.
There is also a plot of land in the joining field of 46 metre squared.
The chalet is located just a short drive or ski bus away for the resort of Meribel, which is at the heart of the 3 Valleys, the world's biggest ski area with 375 miles of groomed runs. Winter activities aren’t just limited to skiing or boarding, there is snow shoeing, dog sledding, paraponting and, of course, taking advantage of the gastronomic delights of the wonderful local produce. In the summer you can walk direct from the door on superb mountain walks, or join the increasing numbers of mountain bikers. There is also a golf course in the valley and a whole range of summer activities to enjoy which makes this a great all year round location.
