Set in a rustic hamlet just minutes away from the renowned ski resort of Meribel and on the doorstep of the Three Valleys, this spacious apartment has been renovated to an extremely high standard with a real wow factor. With its huge open plan kitchen/dining room/living room with many original features and amazing mountain views – this is one not to be missed.
The apartment has stunning views over the Meribel valley and is south facing, getting the afternoon sun in winter and all day sunshine in summer. The well insulated entrance hall (with plenty of storage space) leads straight into the open plan living room/kitchen/dining room which has stunning vaulted ceilings with exposed stone and a central pillar, which delineates each area of this large open living space.
The living area has a large woodburner which heats the whole floor without the need to use the electric heaters. There is plenty of light which streams in through the large windows which look out over the valley. The open plan kitchen and dining area is a cook’s dream and the owners have retained some really gorgeous original features including an old stone butcher block and barn doors.
Through to the huge vaulted bedroom, you’ll find a study area, walk in wardrobe and one of the most beautiful views you could hope to wake up to…just look at the photos. It would be easy to create a second bedroom in the current dining area and there is also a possibility to create a third bedroom with the additional 15 square metres on this floor which lies behind the existing bedroom and next to the bathroom.
While the apartment does not have any land, the area outside the building is at the end of a grassy track and the current owners use this area in summer for bbqs and enjoying the views and sunshine. There may also be a possibility to purchase an allotment in the village for the more green fingered purchaser! This hamlet is linked to Les Allues and is a 7 minute walk away from the bubble lift going into the heart of Meribel and onto the massive Three Valley ski domaine. For the more adventurous skier, it is also possible to ski back to the village from Meribel village when there is good snow. Meribel is within a 2 hour radius of three airports – Grenoble, Geneva and Chambery and also just 20 minutes away from Moutiers where frequent trains arrive from Paris, London and other major cities.

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.
