This rare to the market modern barn conversion is packed full of original features giving a warm, inviting feel. It is just 300m from the ‘Olympe’ Telecabine and a few minutes’ walk to the free bus stop which runs regularly during the winter ski and summer resort seasons. The chalet benefits from 3 parking spaces located on a separate lot 20m away.
The ground-floor entrance opens out into a hall with a corner for skis and a boot-warmer, off the entrance hall is a separate WC and a Jacuzzi, with shower and sauna room in which to unwind. Also on this floor is a large double bedroom with en-suite shower room sink and toilet.
A second separate first floor entrance leads into the well equipped timber kitchen and dining area which can seat up to 12 people.
There is a large, open living lounge area with a large wood fire and a door onto a northern balcony.
The second floor includes a double bedroom with a bath, sink, WC and a south-facing balcony; a twin bedroom with connecting door, a second double bedroom with en-suite shower room and sink. There is also a separate WC and shower room on this level.
The top floor of the Chalet is spectacular, with its high, vaulted ceilings and original beams, it includes: two bedrooms with a connecting door, one of which is a double and one a twin, both with bath tubs and sinks and access to a shared separate WC. Both bedrooms have access to the west facing balcony.
Situated in a picturesque hamlet, this Chalet has the advantage of being close to the resort, whilst also retaining calm and privacy which is unavailable in this price range in the centre of Méribel. It is possible to ski back to the chalet depending on conditions.
The Chalet currently provides strong weekly holiday rental income throughout the winter season and is often rented to groups of French film and music celebrities. Just 100m from the Chalet is a quality restaurant and bar serving traditional Savoyard specialities: perfect to warm up during the winter months or enjoy a glass of local wine on its sunny terrace during the summer.
During the winter and summer seasons, a free resort bus service runs through the hamlet; in winter, the service is very regular- every 15-25 minutes during peak times and every hour during off peak, the first bus to the resort is at 7.33am while the last bus back to the village is at 0.30am. This is a great option for those who prefer to avoid driving in winter conditions or for families with independent teenagers who wish to stay in resort later in the evening.
For those prefer to leave the car behind completely, the nearest SNCF train station is in Moutiers, just 11km away, which is also the destination for the Snow Train which runs from London during the winter season.
There is also an altiport in the commune of Meribel-Les Allues, situated above the Meribel resort which can accommodate small aircraft and helicopters.
Just 200m from the property is the ‘Olympe’ Telecabine (cable-car) which runs from Brides-Les-Bains to the centre of the Meribel resort.

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.
