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.

Resort Description
Méribel is one of most popular resorts in Europe for English-speaking skiers along with Courchevel and Val d’Isere.
Meribel is the central valley of the largest ski domain in the world, Les 3 Vallées.
With 600 km of groomed pistes, 85% of which are above 1800 metres, 25 accessible summits, 174 modern lifts and over 2090 snow cannons covering 43% of the ski area the statistics are impressive as is the skiing. However Méribel is much more than the 5 month winter ski season and an extended stay in summer or during the colours of autumn are needed to appreciate this.
The initial development of the ski resort in the late 1930’s was a British and French partnership and this acceptance of English speakers continues to this day. Méribel is now a much more diverse international community with a large percentage of residents or visitors speaking English as their main or second language.
The main village of Méribel is built on the eastern side of the valley between 1450 and 1700 metres and because of this it is surrounded by forests or grass & timbered slopes. The strict architectural codes of alpine sloping rooflines, timber and stone cladding compliments this setting and makes it one of, if not the most, attractive of all the large high altitude French ski resorts.
The other major “resort villages” are Méribel Mottaret (1750 m), Méribel Village (1400 m), Les Allues (1100m) and the spa town of Brides-Les-Bains (600 m) at the very bottom of the valley. There are many smaller villages or hamlets so the range of property covers all tastes from barn conversions & village houses through to ski apartments and super luxury ski in ski out chalets with private swimming pools. As well as the normal range of hotels, bars, restaurants & shops Méribel boasts a range of facilities and activities.
The Méribel Olympic Centre is home to a full size ice rink, indoor climbing wall, 25 metres indoor heated pool and water slide, conference centre, gymnasium and wellness centre of spa, steamrooms, etc.
There is a spectacular 18 hole Golf Course at 1700 metres and a huge range of other outdoor activities such as tennis, hiking, mountain biking, road cycling, paragliding, fishing, etc which are enjoyed in the warmer months. Méribel property is generally more expensive than other French resorts but not yet at the dizzy heights of Courchevel 1850 with perhaps the exception of a few of the most prestigious pockets.
As Méribel continues to become ever more popular with the big spenders of the world the strong capital growth experienced over many many years is likely to continue.
