Chalet Etienne  

Location

Chalet Etienne is a beautiful 15 bed chalet located in one of Meribel's most sought after neighbourhoods, Meribel Village. Meribel Village is only a few minutes bus ride away from the bustling centre of Meribel, although it also has a centre of its own with a couple of popular places to eat and drink, a small supermarket and boulangerie and easy access to the slopes. Chalet Etienne is only five minutes' walk from the nearest ski lift and piste, from which there is easy access to the rest of the Meribel and Three Valleys ski area. As the central resort in the Three Valleys, the World's largest connected ski area, Meribel is a brilliant choice for exploring all of this huge domain.

The Chalet

Chalet Etienne is a beautifully furnished property with seven bedrooms and space for up to fifteen guests, set in the picturesque resort of Meribel Village, just a short walk from the nearest ski lift. Given its size and location, this chalet is a popular choice for a large group of friends or family looking to explore the magnificent Three Valleys ski area.

Upon entering the chalet on the ground floor, there is a sizeable ski and boot room, complete with heated boot driers, perfect for keeping your feet warm and dry before hitting the slopes each day. From the ground floor you'll also find access to the spacious terrace, which has a sauna and outdoor hot tub and stunning views of the ski slopes, the perfect spot to enjoy après-ski drinks under the setting sun, whilst relaxing your tired muscles after a day on the slopes.

There is a large open plan living room on the first floor, with a beautiful long wooden dining table, with space to seat up to 15 guests and an attractively furnished living room, with sofas that you can really sink into as you relax by the roaring fireplace and enjoy your favourite tunes with the connected Bluetooth speakers. The kitchen is separate, but just next door to the dining room and comes fully equipped with oven, hob, microwave, dishwasher, fridge, freezer, kettle, toaster and cafetière, so you'll have everything you need to whip up a feast for all the family.

There are seven beautifully furnished bedrooms in the chalet, which can sleep up to fifteen guests in total.

Premium Contactless Catering Service

Ski France presents the next generation of chalet holidays, for a contactless world. Your chalet will be ready on arrival - beds made, dinner ready and fridges stocked*, wine-cellars replenished, skis and lift passes all booked. But you won't see us. We'll be at the end of the phone, but there will be no contact, unless you need it. We will visit your chalet mid-week to give it a full clean and change of towels and bed-linen, but this shall be done during the day, whilst you're out on the slopes. You and your family will be safe and looked-after, as we work in the background, providing everything you need.

Our contactless catering service comes with the choice of two pricing options, a fixed menu with food and drink included in the price, and our self catered option which does not include food or drink, so you are free to tailor-make your holiday meals on a budget that suits you.

For those looking for a simple packaged chalet price, we are offering an all-inclusive price, which includes rental of the chalet and your food and drink for the week. Included will be breakfast, snacks to take with you skiing, afternoon tea and cakes/snacks, pre-dinner nibbles a three course dinner on 6 out of 7 nights, with a selection of after dinner cheeses, plus champagne for your first night, a kir for before dinner and unlimited wine and some beers. We have prepared a delicious menu for the week, with a mix of ready prepared meals from a local delicatessen and easy to cook dishes or sides. All that will be required from you is to pop a few things in the oven and throw together a few ingredients to make a simple salad, or steam a few vegetables as sides to your main meal.

Perhaps you want the freedom to choose your own menus, or perhaps you'd prefer to eat out more than one evening during the week, or you just love to cook yourself and enjoy the holidays where you have time to do this in a relaxed way. That's where our self catering service comes in. As an alternative to the service detailed above, we will also offer a lower rate, which does not include the food and drink for the week.

Our aim is to provide the safest possible environment for a ski holiday, whilst staying as affordable as possible. The new way to holiday will be by enjoying the facilities, food and beverages but without the staff waiting on you hand and foot. That will keep things safe and affordable. However, for those in search of a little more luxury, we are able to provide drivers, chefs, daily cleaning, ski lessons etc, all of which can be discussed at the time of booking or with our concierge service prior to arrival.

*Please note that for the self catered option, ski hire and lift passes come at additional costs and are not included in the chalet price. Ski hire and lift passes can be booked in advance with our preferential rates. For our fixed menu option, the price does not include ski hire and lift passes, but it does include breakfast and afternoon tea for 7 days, plus a 3-course dinner with beer and wine for 6 days.

Méribel

Purpose built for skiing in 1938, Meribel is now the most centrally located resort in the huge 3 Valleys ski area. The resort is ideal for true skiers who want easy access to the pistes and the best location from which to explore all of the other valleys. Meribel offers a lively selection of bars, restaurants and shops and a buzzing apres-ski scene.

Ski Area

Méribel lies at the heart of the 3 Valleys, the world's largest ski area. With 600km of world-class pistes to explore, the extent and variety of terrain is simply staggering. The high altitudes combined with first class snow-making facilities ensures quality snow conditions throughout the season. The lift systems are modern and well designed making navigation to the neighbouring Belleville (Les Menuires and Val Thorens) and Courchevel Valleys easy. Within a few minutes from Meribel Mottaret you could be crusing the wide open bowl of Val Thorens or the long reds from the top of the Saulire into Courchevel. The 3 Valleys really does have everything and in Meribel you are in the heart of the action!

Activities

Although skiing is the main activity on a winter holiday in Méribel, there are plenty of other fantastic ways to explore the mountains and terrain. Snowmobiles provide an easy and fun way to journey through trails and forests, and paragliding is available to give you a bird's eye view of the ski area.
