Escape to the charm of Chalet Blanche, a stunning ski retreat in the heart of Meribel Village, part of a quaint hamlet of luxury chalets and barns. At 1400m altitude, it offers sunlit terraces, cosy restaurants, lively bars, a bakery, and local shops - all infused with authentic Savoyard charm. A five-minute walk from the chalet leads to the nearest piste and ski lift, giving you swift access to the slopes. You can also take Meribel’s free shuttle to the town centre or ascend straight from the village, avoiding the main lift queues. Chalet Blanche is impeccably styled, offering exceptional entertaining spaces, including a private jacuzzi and sauna. It sleeps up to 15 guests across seven individually designed bedrooms, each with elegant décor and high-quality finishes. Meribel Village connects directly to the legendary Three Valleys ski area – the largest connected ski area in the world, with access to 600km of pistes across Courchevel, Val Thorens, and beyond. Meribel itself offers 150km of slopes, attracting British skiers with its alpine charm, scenic views, and iconic après-ski spots. On the ground floor, three serene bedrooms feature zip-and-link beds that convert between twins and king-size setups. Step outside to find a sleek pod with a private jacuzzi and sauna - ideal for post-ski relaxation. A ski and boot room ensures equipment stays warm and dry. Inside, the first floor’s open-plan living area is cleverly zoned. An expansive dining table sets the scene for lively breakfasts and evening meals. One side of the lounge offers leather sofas and mountain views, while the other invites relaxation with a roaring fireplace, Bluetooth speakers, and plush furnishings. The fully equipped kitchen includes a range cooker and essentials for culinary enthusiasts. On this floor, there is also an en-suite bedroom with twin beds with access out on to the terrace. Upstairs, three more en-suite bedrooms await. One includes three single beds, while others offer zip-and-link flexibility. A standout feature is a vaulted room with apex windows framing the alpine scenery. Chalet Blanche blends luxury, comfort, and style - the ideal base for families or groups seeking a memorable alpine escape.
Chalet Blanche enjoys a wonderful location in Meribel Village, just five minutes walk from the piste and lift. The village enjoys a truly authentic alpine ambience and enjoys a good selection of bars, restaurants and shops. You can reach the ski slopes and the Three Valleys ski area directly from the village or take the free bus to the centre to arrive at La Chaudanne. The chairlift can be used by non-skiers, and the area is brilliant for sledging, walking and dog sledging. Meribel Village really came into its own with the opening of the quad chair lift to link it directly to the vast Three Valleys.
The vibrant centre of Meribel enjoys a cinema, swimming pool, spa, boutique shops, ski hire, bars, restaurants and nightclubs. La Chaudanne, in the lower part of the town, offers the famous Olympic sports complex where major sporting events take place, as well as festive entertainment. As well as the pool and spa, it boasts an ice rink, climbing wall and a bowling alley for entertainment. La Chaudanne is also where you will find the ski lifts, ski school meeting points, an excellent creche and the Le Piou-Piou children’s club. You can rent lockers in La Chaudanne and store ski equipment if you do not want to carry it every day. Meribel is very attractive, blending itself into its forest surroundings and using an authentic architectural style. The resort sits on the east side of the mountain, with a good supply of sunshine throughout the day.
Meribel sits in the Tarentaise Valley in the French Alps within the western border of the Vanoise National Park. It is to the east of Chambery and south of Albertville. The resort was actually founded by a Scotsman, Peter Lindsay, as the Austrian resorts were becoming very popular in the years before the war. Although the development of the resort was halted during the war years, it recommenced in 1946, and it quickly became a very popular ski destination. Meribel boasts an excellent, fast and modern ski lift system offering easy access to the resort’s 150 km of pistes and the Three Valleys’ 600 km of pistes. It is very easy to ski over to the delightful Courchevel and the mighty Val Thorens. You can either buy a single resort lift pass keeping to the beginner and intermediate ski terrain or purchase one for the whole area. At its highest skiing point, Meribel reaches an altitude of 2952 metres, and the descent into the town is incredibly scenic. Within Meribel, the Altiport area is best for beginners, while Saulire and Tougnete are for mixed ability, and the Mont du Vallon, with its long, steep runs, is great for advanced skiers. This is all against a gorgeous mountain backdrop. Meribel itself offers seventy-three ski runs, of which nine are green, thirty are blue, twenty-six are red, and eight are black. The resort also boasts plenty of off-piste entertainment and snow park activities such as snowboarding, jumps and freestyle skiing. There is a snowpark at Meribel Mottaret and a moon park. Other sports available at Meribel include ice skating, snowmobiles, hang gliding and ice climbing.
Meribel is renowned for its lively, vibrant nightlife. The apres-ski scene is great fun, with many expat Brits owning bars there. There are two excellent bars within a three-minute walk of Chalet Snap Dragon. The resort has a true alpine heart and looks very pretty. There are plenty of boutiques and other shops.
