Méribel
Luxury Chaletsin Méribel Village
A quiet hamlet in larch and stone above Méribel, with its own lift into the 3 Vallées and the pace of a real village.
Méribel Village sits a few kilometres from the centre of the resort, a small hamlet built, like the rest of Méribel, in local stone and wood. It has its own lift, its own ski school and a handful of restaurants, enough to make a week here self-contained without ever feeling remote.
Our apartments and chalets here are chosen for families and for guests who value calm over animation. Most are within walking distance of the slopes and the hamlet's centre, with ski rooms, open fires and daily housekeeping, and a concierge who arranges passes, instructors, tables and transfers before you arrive. The rest of Méribel, and the whole of the 3 Vallées, remains close at hand.

Our concierge's advice
Christmas, New Year and the February school holidays are booked first, often by early autumn, so those weeks are worth settling well ahead. For those periods, restaurant tables and ski instructors are best reserved before you arrive, and your concierge can secure both, along with ski passes and transfers.

Skiing from the hamlet
The hamlet's own lift takes you up into the Méribel ski area without first travelling to the centre, so mornings begin without queues for buses or crowded hubs. From there the whole of the 3 Vallées opens up in every direction. All of our properties here are within walking distance of the slopes, with ski rooms and, in several, boot heaters, so the day starts and ends at your door.
The village and its tables
Méribel Village keeps to a small scale: a ski school, a few shops and a handful of charming restaurants, all within a short walk of most of our properties. Evenings are quiet and unhurried, suited to dinner by the fire or a private chef arranged by the concierge. When you want more animation, the restaurants and bars of Méribel Centre are a short drive or shuttle ride away.
Arriving and getting around
Geneva and Lyon airports are each about two and a half hours by road, Chambéry about an hour and a half; your concierge can arrange a private transfer or a helicopter. Once here, the Méribel shuttle connects the villages of the valley, and several of our properties offer their own ski shuttle. The Olympic ice rink and the Chaudanne lift hub in the centre are easily reached for a change of scene.
Frequently asked questions
How does Méribel Village compare with Méribel Centre or Mottaret?
Méribel Centre is livelier, with more restaurants, shops and the Chaudanne lift hub, while Mottaret sits higher and closer to the heart of the ski area. Méribel Village is smaller and quieter, with its own lift and ski school, and suits guests who prefer calm evenings to choice of nightlife.
Can we ski directly from the chalet?
All of our properties in Méribel Village are within walking distance of the slopes, and the hamlet's own lift connects you to the wider 3 Vallées. Most also have a ski shuttle for days when you prefer not to walk in boots.
Is Méribel Village a good choice for families?
It is one of the most natural choices in the resort for families, with a ski school in the hamlet and a quiet, compact layout. Several properties have games rooms, and the concierge can arrange private instructors and childcare.
How do we get there?
The nearest airport is Chambéry, about 1h30 by road, while Geneva and Lyon are each around 2h30. Your concierge will organise a private transfer or, if you wish, a helicopter.
When is the best time to come to Méribel Village?
The lifts of Méribel usually run from early December to mid-April, and the hamlet's own lift puts the whole season within reach. Christmas, New Year and the February school holidays are booked first, often by early autumn, so those weeks call for early planning. In those periods, restaurant tables and ski instructors are best reserved before arrival.
What are your properties in Méribel Village like, and what does the concierge arrange?
Our selection here brings together luxury apartments and chalets, from family-sized apartments to larger chalets, several of them with a spa, hammam or sauna, and one with a pool. None comes with resident staff, but your concierge arranges ski passes, ski instructors, a private chef, a driver and transfers, so the week runs as smoothly as in a fully staffed chalet.
